2. Probably risking SS's future by falsely connecting it to the deficit and offering it as a playing

chip to Republicans 'because they asked for it' according to Carney.

That is a historic betrayal of the people who elected him.

I just found out that over 2 million people signed a petition asking him not to do it. He ignored them and gave the Republicans what THEY asked for.

SS is the Crown Jewel, the Cornerstone of the Democratic Party. It affects the lives of millions of Americans every day. To think he could touch that without the outrage he has received, shows someone who is very detached from the people who elected him.
