As Barack Obama makes somewhat clearer his goals for an economic stimulus package, he has put something else on the table that may make a lot of folks start to worry: entitlement programs.
That is a fancy government way of saying Social Security and Medicare.
Because the deficit spending he is proposing would balloon the nation’s budget deficit into the trillion dollar plus mark, Obama is starting to talk about ways to pay for all this in the future.
And, he is pledging to rid the government of wastful spending, says a Reuters report, and to “look at ways to address costly entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.”
And just how long do you think Obama’s honeymoon will last with Congress and the American people if he tries to do what no other president before has been able to–cutback spending on these two valued programs?

1If Obama goes any further than cutting the Medicare Prescription Drug program, Part D, the honeymoon will be completely over. People who are on Social Security and Medicare and are disabled are barely making ends meet now.
He better not go back on his promise to shore up Social Security and Medicare. I agree with dropping Part D, but other than that and all of the seniors and disabled people who voted for Obama will be very very unhappy. If he wants 8 years he better help the elderly and the disabled.

2This, which is just the tip of the iceberg, was quite foreseen and forewarned. It should come as no shock, and I frankly don’t want to hear a peep of whining from anyone who voted for this man. If this is what you voted for, then enjoy it.
How’s that for a “no-holds bar approach”, Charles?

3I think that social security should be reserved for us citizens, people that are disabled, and people how have paid into it their whole life.

SCANDAL! SCANDAL! SCANDAL!
EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!
George W. Bush continuously criminally stalked Margie Schoedinger to the point that she could not get away from it, and she committed suicide in desperation to escape: he murdered her.
“In her suit, Margie Schoedinger states that George W. Bush committed sexual crimes against her, organized harassment and moral pressure on her, her family members and close relatives and friends. As Schoedinger said, she was strongly recommended to keep her mouth shut. . . . Furthermore, she alleges that George Bush ordered to show pressure on her to the point, when she commits suicide” (blog of drizzten).
“One of those ‘very leasts’ [was] George Bush’s personal complicity in the death (murder to be precise) of my friend Margie Schoedinger in September of 2003. Determining the exact whereabouts and contacts of [then] president-elect George Bush on September 21 thru 22, 2003, should be entirely lacking in difficulty” (Leola McConnell—Nevada Progressive Democratic Candidate for U.S. Senate in 2010).
Leola McConnell is correct: Bush applying pressure (continuously criminally stalking Margie Schoedinger) purposefully to force Margie Schoedinger to commit suicide does in fact constitute murder.
BEWARE: If the president of the United States hates one—for whatever reasons—he can continuously criminally stalk one to the point that one cannot get away from it, and one ultimately commits suicide in desperation to escape. He can murder people in this way.
Bush is getting away with his murder of Margie Schoedinger—with no sheriff, prosecutor, or court willing to uphold the rule of law.
Bush’s method of murdering Margie Schoedinger cannot exist in a vacuum: he must have murdered other people in the same way.
Bush should confess, come out with the names of all of the people whom he murdered in the disgusting way he murdered Margie Schoedinger, undergo execution, and accordingly find himself at the intersection where he would be free.
(There are thousands of copies of the information above on the Internet. It exists very extensively in all major search engines. Please feel free to go to any major search engine, type “George W. Bush continuously criminally stalked Margie Schoedinger to the point that she could not get away from it, and she committed suicide in desperation to escape: he murdered her,” hit “Enter,” and find innumerable results.)

5I don’t believe (Kathy January 12th, 2009 at 9:03) , understands , even cutting Part D drug plan would be devastating to some , who’s medicine could cost more than they get in social security benefits , like my Mother and myself. Considerations would need to be made for this also.
