Neel Kashkari, TARP Guru, Supports Cutting Entitlements, Citing 'Me-First' Attitude Of Beneficiaries
WILL BAILEY: I heard once-- I don't know if this is true-- I heard once that you convinced the President to let you rewrite a section of the State of the Union with less than 24 hours to go. It was the second year, and everybody was a Republican whether they were or not, and people at the DNC convinced him to include the line, "The era of big government is over," and you couldn't live with it. Because government should be a place where people come to gather, and no one gets left behind. An instrument of good. And that's exactly what we heard in the State of the Union the next night.
TOBY ZIEGLER: There were maybe four people in the room when I had that conversation.

I'm an old liberal Democrat, and it's not just the Republicans out to end social programs.

"Mismanaged and underfunded heap"?
The Social Security Trust Fund was stolen from to pay for wars and pork. The original explanation for doing it was "borrowing", but they had no intention of ever paying it back, so let's call it what it what it is -- THEFT.

Stop calling them "entitlements".
If we must pay into a program to receive a return then it is not an entitlement. Social Security is a benefit We The People pay for.

WASHINGTON -- A former CIA director says military action against Iran now seems more likely because no matter what the U.S. does diplomatically, Tehran keeps pushing ahead with its suspected nuclear program.
Michael Hayden, a CIA chief under President George W. Bush, says that during his tenure a strike was "way down the list" of options. But he tells CNN's "State of the Union" that such action now "seems inexorable
