My first two cents since about 8 months ago:
A. The neo-con “republicans” in congress don’t care about the “principles” of deficit reduction or de-socialization, this is a move to hurt people and blame it on the democrats.

B. Where in the constitution does it say whatsoever that it’s the governments responsibility to take care of people? I don’t support Obama but his often misconstrued remark about the constitution was exactly correct: it is a charter of negative liberties. It is not a contract of duties and services the government will provide.

I’m not arguing that this was a smart or responsible or even a good thing to cut benefits, but to say it’s the governments duty to provide them is a dishonest and downright false representation.
