Has anybody been watching Lawrence O'Donnell?

[LongTomH]

He has a 'bipartisan' group talking about ways to cut the deficit. The group includes Democrats like former Senators Gary Hart and Bill Bradley.

They claim they can keep the Bush, 'save' Social Security and still cut the deficit. Of course, their formula requires raising the retirement age and reducing the COLA's. They're also saying they need to consider cutting Medicare and Medicaid. They gave lip service to reducing the military budget and subsidies for biofuels like ethanol; but, most of their time was devoted to making the case for reducing Social Security; the same lies we've been hearing from the chattering classes for months.:grr:
