Liberals fuming over Social Security cuts in Obama?s budget proposal | The Raw Story
Obamas fiscal blueprint slashes the deficit by $1.8 trillion over 10 years, in what a senior administration official described as a compromise offer that cuts federal spending, finds savings in Social Security and raises tax revenue from the wealthy.
But Obamas concession to conservatives in the form of reduced cost-of-living payouts for Social Security benefits could revive consideration of a deficit-reducing grand bargain that has proved elusive in recent years.
Such cuts to public pension programs and public health insurance for the elderly seen as sacred cows for Obamas Democrats have been longstanding demands of Republicans.
Dammit. There should be NO reductions in SS until all welfare is eliminated. Welfare is charity while SS is a debt govt owes to the recipients. They paid the money and they want it back!

I don't know, my father in law has gotten to the point where he hates the cost of living raise. Every time his social security payments increase, his food stamps go down. The government gets it out of you one way or another....
There is something seriously wrong here. Then again, social security was never intended to be the only retirement plan for a person, it was intended as a supplemental retirement plan. And they set the age at 65 because the average lifespan was 63. They never intended to pay out as much as they do.

You do realize it's one of the GOP's top goals to destroy social security, don't you?

The problem is that people tend to be still wearing out at 62 but are living longer.

More Daily KOS propaganda, we want it out of the government and done privately so we can have more money and not have it drained to cover up deficits...

Sadly, it's not a goal of theirs at all. The worst government programs ever are social security/medicare and obamacare. Those are the specific programs that make every American dependent on government for their basic needs, retirement and medical care. It's sick.
When Republicans propose slowing the growth in those financial monstrosities, this is what you come up with, that they want to "destroy" it. This is why those of us who actually still believe in liberty are in such a small minority.

Social security and medicare have been very effective. If the GOP had their way and both were eliminated, we would see welfare recipients skyrocketing, ER's would have lines around the block 24 hours a day as people would have no other way to see a doctor, insurance premiums would be so high because of it, it would become a luxury just to have it, poverty and homelessness would soar, the elderly dieing at early ages from lack of income and access to healthcare, it would be a complete disaster.
Actually as I said the Republicans don't support this. Rather than showing what you're talking about, you just repeated your ridiculous claim as if it were true. This is a logical fallacy called "begging the question." It's nonsense.You do realize it's one of the GOP's top goals to destroy social security, don't you?
