I am waiting for one person in Big Media to point out to Ryan

1. Your ancestors in the 1800's got rich off of public works projects
2. You received Social Security to go to college
3. You have, your entire adult life, lived off of taxpayer dollars
4. You voted for every single one of Bush's budget-busting initiatives

How dare you denigrate the government, you miserable hypocrite

Should the president & Dems come out indisputably against benefit cuts?

Now running against SS recipient who outspokenly wants to destroy SS. Should Obama (and other Dems) go on the record against any benefit cuts (since both programs are healthy and desperately needed)? Or should they avoid the discussion like they always do?
