You've gotta be kidding me: GOP Member Floats Ending Sequester In Exchange For SS and Medicare cuts

[Fumesucker]

30. Ah but now the M$M can point to agreement by Dems and Reps on cutting SS

Since both sides have proposed the same thing then disagreement is really only over the details.

Once you start playing the multidimensional chess thing the dimensions never stop multiplying, it's turtles all the way down.

I don't necessarily think Obama's actual intentions are to cut SS but his actions and words can sometimes be taken that way, so many things depend on point of view. As someone on SS Bowles and Simpson make me uneasy at best and downright alarmed when it sounds like Obama agrees with them.

Having the individual mandate for private insurance as the crown jewel of Obama's health care plan after he mocked the concept during the campaign doesn't make me more likely to take his words at absolute face value.
