32. Who on DU predicted Obama "would announce major cuts to SS and Medicare" during his speech?
Edited on Fri Apr-15-11 05:14 PM by Better Believe It
Links please.

If you're familiar with how Congress works you would know that no President can just "announce cuts" to any mandated programs without first having them passed by Congress and signing them into law.

Before his speech he did support major cuts to other government programs included in the budget agreement just passed by Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

And he will sign on to far deeper and broader cuts that will be proposed by his new 16 member bi-partisan congressional commission.
