When R's suggested this the Left ran commercials on TV about Granny being pushed off a cliff. Now that Obama is proposing it, they are defending it???? What loser partisan hacks....

No, but somehow the most powerful individual in the world, (ie Obama) cant seem to get anything done because Bush continues to stop him.

lol, but you left out the politics didn't you. I just love when the greedy liberals fight to make other people more poor.

None of the above is true, at least not in Florida. On the contrary, insurance and property tax has declined.

There is always someone who is getting hosed. It is impossible to keep everyone happy about everything. I am surprised so many GOP people oppose cuts in SS.

While you say the left is defending this, that's far from reality, (as usual.)

Liberals Decry Obama cut to Social Security

Liberal groups protest Obama's Social Security plan - Washington Times

Liberals turn on Obama, march to White House in fight for Social Security
