81. Obama mentioned Social Security cuts in his SOTU, just as predicted.
Edited on Wed Apr-20-11 09:40 PM by MannyGoldstein
He announced that it wouldn't be cut for current retirees, but it wouldn't be "slashed" for future retirees. Just a little shave, I suppose. Like the little 22%, $56,000 cut proposed by his very own "bipartisan" "Deficit Commission".

And that's why we're fucked: even a Democratic President is working hard to gut Social Security benefits. And you seem to be OK with it.

Let's try this: will you simply state that any cut in Social Security would be a mistake by Obama?
