Obama Promises Liberal Groups He'll End Bush-Era Tax Cuts For The Wealthy

[mother earth]

10. Exactly...not up to bargain away SS & Medicare, no age adjustments either...hands off! What good

would it serve to start giving away the few safeguards left?

I would like a statement to that effect from the president, too. Is that too much to ask?

I think it's time to reassure Americans that the "elected" who enjoy the finest benefits at our tax paying expense won't fuck with our one safeguard, esp. since these economic times may be with us indefinitely & many have already lost savings and investments they had planned for retirement.

It's not enough to promise any age tinkering would only affect younger people, that's WRONG too.
