that thinks its sad that anyone thinks we should cut things like medicare, social security and food stamps during an economic crisis when even larger numbers of people are needing aide? All workers pay into social security, how insane is it that any of them want to cut their own paid for benefits?

they don't want their social security or medicare cut, but a significant number think it's ok to cut the food stamps and medicaid for poor people.

More of the "don't cut my programs, cut their programs" crowd.
