Hey liberals: Cutting Social Security and Medicare is wrong no matter who does it.

9. Then he could easily say: "No cuts to Social Security and Medicare"

...and then everyone could relax.

But you gotta admit he seems open to the idea cutting these benefits, by the chained CPI, or by raising the retirement age.

The President should commit to veto any cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or Veterans benefits.

If he would commit to that, he would be doing the job we elected him to do.

But he won't say that, so it seems like he will not veto cuts. He will allow cuts as part of a deal.

The sequester is not going to happen. At a minimum Obama and Boehner will need to reach a temporary deal and kick the ball down the road a few months.

This all seems non-controversial to me, just matters of fact, not opinion.
