The "Fiscal Cliff" vote is over, did we cut Social Security?

[JoePhilly]

31. If you go back over my posts on this topic, you'll find my predicted outcome is

actually what happened.

I predcited that, if a deal was made, the top end Bush tax cuts would end, and that the limit might go up from 250k to about 500k depending on what else we might get.

No pom poms, and no hair-on-fire rhetoric.

I do continue to ask folks like you, who seem to be sure that Obama is about to screw us at every turn, to make specific predictions about exactly what's going to happen.

What we usually see here is an amorphous outrage that reshapes itself.

Take this time ... Obama was absolutely going to raise the Medicare age. When it became clear that was not happening, he was definitely going to cut SS, then that didn't happen, and so now the outrage kind of morphs into "but he's probably going to". This is only about the 5th or 6th time this exact pattern has played out in the last 3+ years.

And my prediction is that DU will again become HairOnFireUnderground once again in a couple months.
