This is a very ill-thought out stance by Rick Santorum, but if that’s what he believes, I’m glad he told us before we voted for him. I had high hopes for Santorum, but in this case I'm afraid he wanted to show that he can make the tough and painful decisions, instead showed that he can make the easy and dumb decisions.
As has already been said, and as has been the subject of previous threads, Medicaid and Medicare are greater future liabilities than SS.
And what sort of painful cuts does Rick plan for those, or for Section 8 housing, or food stamps and welfare? Guess he hasn't thought that far.

The " Let's cut government, but not MY slice of the pie crowd " ..... guess what ? ALL of us are going to have to endure some pain in cutting the government budget.... stop crying about it.....
Those who are against what Rick Santorum proposes ( if true from this article ) then stop saying you want to cut government, and stop bashing Rick Santorum for being a " BIG GOVERNMENT " politician....
The hypocrisy is rich and thick in this thread...
