On Friday, MoveOn is calling for actions at Congressional offices across the country against President Obama's proposal to cut Social Security and veterans' benefits. This is a historic opportunity for the bipartisan 99% to push back against the bipartisan 1%. The problem isn't that President Obama is a bad negotiator; it's that he's trying to get the wrong deal with the wrong Republicans. What President Obama, Senator Lindsey Graham, and the Washington Post editorial board agree on is that they prefer cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits and raising taxes to cutting the bloated Pentagon budget. But the broad bipartisan public holds the opposite view: they'd rather cut the bloated Pentagon budget, and leave Social Security and veterans' benefits and taxes alone.
