I thought that Romney/Ryan were scary enough on Social Security/Medicare, but this is almost more scary. Fortunately, Roots Action may be going a little overboard. The date for the citation for what Obama said was the date the article was published. There is no indication in the article of how long ago Obama said it. The date of the citation for Biden’s remarks might actually be the date that Biden made the remarks. Still, there is no harm in taking out a little insurance by letting the President know how you feel.

The Romney-Ryan platform includes big cuts to Social Security and Medicare. But here’s something the New York Times reported this month about President Obama:

“He particularly believes that Democrats do not receive enough credit for their willingness to accept cuts in Medicare and Social Security.”

It’s time we asked the President and every member of Congress to commit to not cutting a dime from Medicare or Social Security.

Roots Action has a web page where you can go to send a message to the President and your Congress people about not cutting Social Security or Medicare by one red cent until all other avenues have been tried. When the wealthy are paying theit fair share of taxes again, then and only then will I listen to arguments about cutting Medicare, Social Security, and other investments in the future of this country.
