Based on this interview with Austan Goolsbee, it looks like Team Change hasn't given up "fixing" Social Security on the backs of the needy and the recipients. O'Donnell, to his credit, questions him pretty closely. The obviously weaselly answer is the result.

The Goolsbee interview starts at 3:20; the Social Security discussion starts at 7:15. At 8:80, weasel words begin leaving Goolsbee's mouth — and they just don't stop.
