Compromise on SS cuts??

[Vietnameravet]

Maybe I was wrong in a previous post suggesting that Obama compromise on SS, especially if it demoralizes his base..Here is an article from Robert Reich. More and more I am thinking that Obama compromises far too much...



Why is the President back to making premature and unnecessary concessions to Republicans?

Two central issues in the 2012 presidential election were whether the Bush tax cuts should be ended for people earning over $250,000, and whether Social Security and Medicare should be protected from future budget cuts.

The President said yes to both. Republicans said no. Obama won.


But apparently the President is now offering to continue the Bush tax cuts for people earning between $250,000 and $400,000, and to cut Social Security by reducing annual cost-of-living adjustments.

It defies logic and fairness to give more tax cuts to the wealthy while cutting benefits for the near-poor.
