WTF is wrong with Democrats that want to cut Social Security and/or Medicare?

255. Well that is exactly what this campaign is going to be about....

We are going to be told that the greatest threat to our national security is the debt and deficit, raising taxes on those making 250k and above per year at a percentage rate will not even come close to closing the 1.5 trillion deficit let alone address the exisiting 16 trillion of national debt.... The right is gearing up to educate the public that taxing is not the answer and that complete reform of Medicare and Social Security as well as the elimination of Obamacare are the only ways to save America... The fear card will be played and they will blame Democrats who will not reform programs as wanting to force austerity which will result in ending the programs completely....

Will it work? Who knows it depends on how strong an argument against cutting benefits is from the President...but this is going to be bloody and whoever wins the debate will claim a mandate by the American people on how to proceed.....
