Matt Cooper Plans Ahead
Posted by Jill | 7:01 AM

This guy is already running for president...in 2020, which is when he'll be eligible.

It's impressive that someone this young has this much interest in the issues. He's wrong about many issues, IMHO; for example, he's appallingly ill-informed about the so-called Social Security crisis. He's drunk the Crisis Kool-Aid, and he believes that the wealthy, along with the middle class, have "supplied" Social Security. I guess he doesn't know that the FICA tax stops at $90K. [deleted snarky, Cranky Old Person remark about how when you're living at home and making an entry-level salary, $90K souns wealthy.] But at least he's thinking.

On the other hand, he comes across as one of those guys who locks himself in his room during the frat parties, lest something happen that can be brought up in his future campaign.

Keep your ambition, Matt. It's an admirable thing. But don't forget to have some fun along the way.
