Cutting SS/Medicare/Medicaid/Food Stamps in deal with Republicans. Yes or No? [View all]

Would you accept if Obama cut Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid/Food Stamps, etc
with Republicans in some sort of deal?

Simple Question.

Yes or No

Lets see where DU members stand on this issue


Edit for clarity

Please recommend and kick for importance to see who really supports Democratic values


EDIT again I will NOT accept any cuts whatsoever in these vital programs and those who would accept these cuts to the most vulnerable among us I would like to be exposed publicly
