It's called "be careful what you ask for". Republican's wanted it...now they got it. And can explain to Senior's why...
The GOP does not have to explain anything. It is the Demcrats that must explain to their voting blocs why their president is throwing them under the bus. If they don't like the answer, look for the GOP to win back the Senate in 2014.
Translation - only people who saved for retirement will have their social security benifits reduced even though they payed into the system like everyone else.
1: People who saved for retirement are generally enjoying cost-free consumption, so I don't feel too badly for them.
2: How much did you expect min wage workers to save?
Obama's budget is DOA and it won't be because of supposed {R} obstructionist, his own party will not go for this idea or raising the age for eligibility. It will be like one of his other budgets or outline that was voted down 99 to nothing. I do think seniors could absorb this it would mean one less trip to the bingo hall.
Do you think seniors living on $800 a month and paying half their income on rent are going to the bingo hall?

I'm a senior. I don't go to bingo halls. I don't even know where one is. I don't know a single other senior who goes to bingo halls.
Sounds like the person blabbering about bingo halls has preconceived, discriminatory notions about seniors. Typical for a liberal, I guess. Or maybe s/he just comes from a long line of ne'er do wells.
And when Republicans suggestes such a thing, they were throwing granny off a cliff, but now that its Obamas suggestion, left wing kooks are going crazy to defend it. What a world we live in where its weird to Democrats now supporting the rich, while wanting the poor to be harmed.
What do you call it when granny is living on $800 a month and paying half of that for rent?
