Oh Goody, The Wingnuts Are Fighting Over Social Security!

Mike Huckabee, working class hero?

Via Digby, some interesting news about our Republican contenders:
So what to make of Mike Huckabee coming out swinging on this issue on Friday and taking Christie and the others to task in no uncertain terms?

“I don’t know why Republicans want to insult Americans by pretending they don’t understand what their Social Security program and Medicare program is,” Huckabee said in response to a question about Christie’s proposal to gradually raise the retirement age and implement a means test.
