RW, > What do you want to do? Cut benefits to the poor?

Unify the budget, for starters. The SS "trust fund" is a complete myth. All it consists of are a bunch of self-issued IOUs. As money is "withdrawn" from the "trust fund," the IOUs will have to be sold to creditors. And that's in addition to the trillions of new debt Obama wants to accumulate over the next 10 years.

Once the accounting is taken care of, we can find honest ways to fund whatever benefits we want to preserve to those who need it the most.
