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

176. Instead of insulting those who raise concerns--a little respect for their positions would be welcome

A lot of people are going to need the minimum level of dignity provided by Social Security in the coming years. If people don't like the wiggle room in the administration's statements on Social Security--and if they are concerned about the name dropping of Simpson-Bowles as a "good and acceptable" thing--they have a right to object. They can find a way to keep Social Security solvent and not hurt the benefits of future beneficiaries ---and people have a right to push the President on this.

There is little time after the election..especially when conversations are being held NOW to avoid a fiscal cliff. If we want to have any influence on a "grand bargain" the time to express our concern is now--and we can support the President and democrats while doing it.

It's ok if you think we're crying wolf, or if you disagree,...BUT DAMN IT some of us are the ones who will be TWEAKED and there are a lot of us who can ill afford it. The majority in this country OPPOSE cuts to Social Security--why should we allow our politicians to simply assume future recipients must get shafted.
