Don’t Get Complacent About Social Security. They Still Want to Cut It.

Richard Eskow

In every successful struggle there’s a time to celebrate a hard-fought victory. When it comes to Social Security, this is not that time.

It’s true that, after including the “chained CPI” benefit cut in his latest budget, President Obama seems to have dropped the idea. And it’s true there’s no talk of a “grand bargain” on the horizon.  But it would still be a serious mistake to become complacent about Social Security.
