Harry Reid Could be the One Road Block to Social Security Cuts

[jtown1123]

Harry Reid is hosting a "Protect Social Security Press Event" this afternoon (12:30 EST) with a coalition of Social Security groups and two other Senators (not announced yet). This is the coalition: http://strengthensocialsecurity.org/

Thank goodness we have some strong advocates in the Senate standing up against any proposed cuts that may come from the GOP or the Senate's "Gang of Six," which includes 3 Dems.

If anyone is interested, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare will be hosting a live Facebook discussion at the event: www.facebook.com/nationalcommittee and live tweeting www.twitter.com/ncpssm

Have a good day.

2. Yet to be determined. Huge public backlash can change cutters minds.

3. Even the comments on the yahoo comment board

which is usually a group of wingnuts was 99.9% against any cuts. I was amazed - never have I seen so many people all against something.
