“Millions of working people, seniors, disabled veterans, those who have lost a loved one in combat, and women will be extremely disappointed if President Obama caves into the long standing Republican effort to cut Social Security and benefits for disabled veterans and their survivors through a so-called chained CPI,” he said in a statement

A big, steaming cooked-up crock of shit from this supposedly "Independent" source wringing his hands over the potential of Obama getting buggered by these nasty veteran hating Republicans. I guess this from an independent makes Obama's lies true, huh?

Oh please....we SS folks got nothing for two years....and Obama’s economics was responsible.

Good cop, bad cop routine. Obama wants to hang this on the Reps even if it makes sense. The idea is to make this a GOP initiative that Obama was “forced” to accept so he could end sequestration. Lots of ammo for the Dems in 2014. The same old story: the GOP wants to take away your SS and Medicare.

When “Progresive” is in the title, it’s a left-wing group. Bernie Sanders is called independent, but he’s proudly Socialist.

George Orwell is spinning in his grave about how language is currently used to disguise agendas.
