Obama campaign REFUSES to disclose plans on Social Security, says discussion belongs with senators

30. Raising the retirement age is not acceptable policy but rather a massive effective cut

A poverty inducing cut that not only cuts Social Security but reduces life time wages and increases the likelihood of unemployment by inflating an already glutted labor pool.

Better than Weird WiLIARd and the TeaPubliKlans is a nothing measuring stick, Ronald Reagan and Poppy Bush can fit that criteria (hell, an argument can be mounted for Junior Bush and Jeb too) and still fucked the American people every which way but loose.

I say we'd best being applying pressure to shape the policies of the people we have some influence over rather than meekly accepting whatever is offered because the alternative sucks more ass.

It is important to elect Democrats but it is far more important to make them work in our interest rather than making bullshit excused for them and granting passes in fear that the opposition will do worse.

Hell yes, Obama should be cornered into positions that favor the people and Social Security should absolutely be discussed in the election. The President and our party should have very little room to negotiate because room cannot benefit poor and working class Americans.
