[Peace-discuss] at HuffPo: On Friday, Kill the #ChainedCPI Cut to Social Security & Veterans' Benefits

[Robert Naiman]

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.
