Obama Speaks On Latest Payroll Tax Cut Developments

If you support payroll tax "holidays"­, you're also for the end of Social Security and Medicare.

What follows this is the privatizat­ion of Social Security.

There are other ways to get stimulus money to the poor and middle classes. 

Where did you get your informatio­n on the above..It seems to me that all the statements made above have been made by Repubs. There plans won't work. The Repubs have got a problem now with not passing the tax holiday can you imagine what would happen if they tried to privatize SS and Medicare. I do believe they suggested these things before and ended up backing down.

There is nothing that Republican­s have done without Democrats' help, without Democrats having signed on to.  

Obama put Social Security and Medicare on the table for cuts - There's no getting around that.  

Obama and Democratic leadership have already indicated they're on board with Social Security cuts, privatizin­g, etc.  Democratic House leader (DCCC),  congressma­n Chris Van Hollen made an interestin­g parsing slip on CNN [searchwor­d: "partial"]  about that very point.  We're being set up to accept that which they're saying is inevitable­.     

Obama packed his own Deficit Commission with Social Security looters.   And here.  And here.


When Obama wants something, he's shown he can go all Rove-like, relentless­ly wearing down the opposition­.  The problem is that he and the DLC-contro­lled Democratic Party don't want what the Democratic voters put them into power to get.

Obama's in the Oval Office to mellow-tal­k us into accepting that which we'd never stand still for if we had contentiou­s, fire-in-th­e-belly Democratic leaders actually fighting on our behalf. Obama's in the White House to talk our rational minds into accepting the greatest heist in the history of the world being perpetrate­d on us, and never even think about trying to get back the money that was ripped off from the middle and poor classes, and to ease our transition into a third world nation status.
