--just makes me tired, though. First I have to do all the GOTV stuff to get her elected, and the very next day start organizing against her administration.

She has indirectly called for Social Security cuts (no, NOT the quibble about figuring out how to raise the retirement age for non-manual workers). The key tip-off was the comment about raising benefits for the poorest. This is Pete Peterson bullshit from the 2010 Catfood Commission, for those of you who don't remember. What it means is

2. Add some money back for people in the lowest quintile so they get the same amount on a lifetime basis should they live to be 85.

The only consolation is that it will be easier than organizing against a Republican administration.
