You never see these criminals calling for cutting spending on what is already the military which is larger than most of countries combined. NO, in fact they want to SPEND more on it while cutting earned benefits!


They are Earned Benefits, REMEMBER THAT!!!!!

The entire point of their running up the debt was to then cut all social programs.

That's the single most important message to communicate to the average American.

7. Many on DU get very upset if we say that truth. They are still claiming the 'cliff' deal protected

everything and anyone who advocates in favor of Social Security and Medicare and Medicaide is told they are not sufficiently gobsmacked by the glorious cliff deal.
OP asked 'what happened to Chained CPI' and those who said 'Republicans are already promoting that as part of the 'ceiling' now that the 'cliff' is passed were jumped on by those who do not want anyone countering that Republican agenda nor anyone pointing out that this IS the Republican agenda.
