If Obama keeps his promises about Social Security, then(if the Republicans agree to raise taxes) the cut in benefits will be $100-200 a year.

"Entitlements" = "Social Security". Nixon goes to China. Just wait.

In reply to Obama wants entitlement cuts

If entitlement cuts were Obama's dream, he wouldn't be promising to veto a cut in food stamps, his budgets wouldn't have such generous social spending, and he wouldn't have created the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. His proposed cuts in Medicare(which would only go into effect if the Republicans agree to tax cuts) aren't cuts in benefits.

The Senate won't be able to pass that. Too much pressure will be put on them from the voters. The Democrats want to gain back the control of both Houses.

I dare them. They have no

Obama wants entitlement cuts - it's been his "Nixon goes to China" dream since before he got elected.

Obama: the wolf in sheep clothing; .has always been the tool of those, who have always been about increasing the numbers in the slave class pool; whether it is by giving amnesty to 12 million more low wage workers, who will work to undercut our wages or by destroying the equity in peoples homes, so they'll have no nest egg besides; the crumbs "the government say's were entitled to".

Work longer and cheaper so America can compete in the world market place, in order to reward the fat cats, who are not satisfied, till they get the whole pie and then bitch because the peasants want the few crumbs, that fall from the table that should have been collected for the barons so they could profit from the crumbs also..
