Right or wrong concerning Santorum’s views on slashing benefits for people already on social security will be a losing battle for Santorum. This alone will give the nomination to Obama

Thirty percent of people collecting benefits are well below retirement age. I would support anyone eliminating their 'benefits' altogether. Santorum has the courage to tell the truth while the other candidates via political expediency remain part of the problem.

Or I can quote Reagan -

“Conservativism never loses”

You seem to believe that we need to cut everywhere except here. Why?

Show me where it says that it’s the constitutional obligation for the federal government to provide a retirement income for seniors.

Sorry, that’s not going to fly. Everything needs to be cut back - that includes sacred cows like social security.

I’m an educator and I think the department of Education should be eliminated. I’m not quite sure how that benefits me, since that is slashing jobs in my sector. Why? Because we can’t afford unconstitutional mandates.
