Reply #23: No limit to your hyperbole that's for sure.

The emerging details of the proposed "cuts" that are available, and subject to change, include means testing for Social Security benefits, increasing the SS taxable wage limit, adjusting the cost of living adjustments that most economists say are skewed and inaccurate. Some sacrifice? For sure. Throwing both programs under the bus? Not even an iota of credibility, in my opinion. Now Paul Ryan's plan, that's another story entirely.

As I posted above,(see post 19) those on the far Left are calling the President weak, spineless and naive. Those on the far Right "it's exactly the opposite: Obama as an intransigent, stubborn, but nefariously crafty." Both descriptions can not be correct. But both descriptions could be wrong. And in my opinion, both are.
