Reply #49: Yes Social Security is being undermined...

[ljm2002]

...among other things by appointing the Deficit Commission, which promptly made recommendations about Social Security such as raising the retirement age, even though it has never contributed to the deficit. Such as offering to change the cost of living formula in ways that will reduce benefits from what they otherwise would have been.

Even putting it on the table undermines it, since it has N.O.T.H.I.N.G. to do with the deficit. N.O.T.H.I.N.G.

No one made him create the deficit commission and pack it with people who were salivating to attack social security. He chose to do that.

No one made him decide that we need to make cuts in social security, medicare and medicaid. He did that all on his own, calling them "sacred cows" and unilaterally presenting them as a bargaining chip to the GOP, while they held the full faith and credit of the USA hostage.

But I have yet to see you address any of those points. Just more word games.
