Here come the cries of cruel Republicans cutting Social Security. He couldn't have thought this through. There are seniors that lost their investments because of Obama and now he wants to make cuts? Some of these people have paid into it all their lives. The answer is to privatize. And get the economy going again. Don't cut SS, cut GOVERNMENT.

This is an example of why he lost re-election of his home state by 20 points.
He is an idiot.

Social Security is NOT the problem.
Government borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund IS the problem.
Santorum needs to run on fixing the problem, not penalizing those who paid in to the Trust Fund for decades.
Sorry, Rick, but you are wrong on this one.

Yeah, that’s going to play well in Florida and other retirement states. Dumb.
I’ll take Rick Perry’s calling SS a Ponzi scheme and calling for reforms that won’t affect those who have already paid and paid into it.

Every part of the government budget needs to be cut, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare included.
And if a senior lost money in the stock market, it is no one’s fault but their own.

He is an idiot. Of course he is, even though his philosophy isn't far off the mark. Reminds me of the time, back in the early '70s, when I took a job as a Kirby vacuum cleaner salesman. "There are two things we never say," said the boss, while initiating me into the mysteries of salesmanship. "One is sales. The other is vacuum cleaner."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because!" he replied, incredulously, "that's what we do!"

Social Security needs to be reformed, yes. But we need to CUT the size and control of government. Defund the EPA and Health, Education and Welfare. Cut government.

Removing illegals, druggies, and drunks would be a great start.

Wow. I just posted on our FReepathon thread that Romney wasn’t going to attack Santorum -— he was just going to let him do himself in.
Good start, Santorum.
TMI and wrong timing.
The so-called “tax cut” was a cut in payments to Social Security. DUH.
Social Security is not the problem. Governent spending is and other such entitlement spending!

He’ll get a book deal out of this campaign: “How to lose a campaign for POTUS”.
