WH's Jay Carney GETS HIT On Social Security CUTS In President's Budget

[JDPriestly]

19. Carney's response is pure baloney.

Seniors who rely on Social Security are already living on very little. Those who don't rely on it pay the same taxes as everyone else, in many cases more because they don't get things like child care credits, deductions for housing loans (even if they are paying a mortgage, they have most likely paid it down to the point where they don't pay much interest as the percentage of each payment that goes to pay interest decreases over time).

Social Security pays rock bottom -- just enough to live, just enough to cover your expenses.

It cannot be cut without working hardship on American families as seniors are forced to beg from their kids to get by.

Social Security and Medicare cannot be cut.

And where in the world is the focus on jobs. Why not revamp our tax and bankruptcy codes to encourage businesses to create jobs and protect workers.

Why include Social Security in discussions about balancing the budget? It has nothing to do with balancing the budget.

Obama is way, way wrong on this.
