Obama Signaling His Clear Desire to Reduce Social Security Benefits
Barak Obama, while addressing a luncheon at the Brookings Institute in 2009 (see short video excerpt below), had this to say about his desire to rewrite the New Deal:
“For those on the left — and I include myself in that category — too many of us have been interested in defending programs the way they were written in 1938, believing that if we admit the need to modernize these programs to fit the changing times, then the other side will use those acknowledgements to destroy them altogether.”

Why does the U.S. government have a website that teaches immigrants how to sign up for welfare programs once they arrive in the United States?

Go to this website and take the time to educate yourself on the benefits YOUR tax dollars provide to non-citizens, then call your “elected” representation to express your outrage!
These payoffs to non citizens is yet another reason America is going bankrupt under our unsustainable debt with an out of touch obama who believes “we don’t have a spending problem”.
This liberal left administration is looking at reducing your SS and Medicare (Medicare premiums did go up) benefits.
Everyone’s paycheck shrank in January 2013, you know, so we can payer fare share for these stupid, wasteful programs for non-citizens and the welfare harpies.
This information should make your blood boil! Do something about it! http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
Thanks “Debby.”
I reserve my outrage for the extreme subsidies provided by government to welfare corporations while threatening to cut my Social Security benefits. The amount spent on immigrant support by governments at all levels — local, state and federal — is minuscule compared to the obscene subsidies given to tax-avoiding welfare corporations.
Yes, I’m disappointed that Obama, our centrist president, has threatened to cut benefits to Social Security and Medicare. He seems to be doing it in a misguided effort to appease the GOP, who have been zealously trying to undo these New Deal/Great Society programs for the last several decades.
Here’s a an excerpt from a report by the CBO on the cost to government at all levels of immigrant support:
