Just exactly what about them needs to be 'dealt with', Sir? SS doesn't affect the deficit & Medicare/Medicaid is an absolute necessity if we are to continue to call ourselves 'humane'.
The best way to cut the deficit is to give money to THE PEOPLE who will spend it, thus creating demand, tax revenue, and more jobs which create more disposable cash, more demand, and more tax revenue. Ask any intelligent economist: the spiral goes upward.

You don't have to cut benefits. You can stop paying doctors for how many procedures they do and pay them to keep people healthy. Negotiating on drugs cost, etc. But you are right, it would totally be inhumane to cut people's only access to care. But I don't think Obama is inhumane, do you?
