The Chicago Tribune welcomed Medicare and Social Security cuts. It falsely said they're "on paths to insolvency." They're "the biggest drivers of total federal deficits."
Both programs are fiscally sound. Minor adjustments only are needed. They're not entitlements. They're contractual federal obligations. They're for eligible recipients who qualify. Payroll taxes fund them.
Militarism, imperial wars, repressive homeland security, CIA, Pentagon and other black budgets, corporate handouts, and pork drive out-of-control deficit spending. Don't expect media scoundrels to explain.
Straightaway in office, Obama prioritized neoliberal harshness. Destroying New Deal/Great Society gains reflects policy. Popular needs don't matter. Monied interests alone are served.
People are exploited. Profits are privatized. Ordinary ones bear the burden of debt. Privileged Americans enjoy a disproportionate share of wealth and power. Others are hung out to dry to serve them.
Criminals run Washington. Obama's their titular head. He's a crime boss. He's ideologically hardline.
He's ruthless. He's duplicitous. He serves wealth, power and privilege. He's anti-democratic, anti-populist, anti-labor, anti-welfare, pro-business and pro-war. He's heading America for tyranny, third world status and ruin.
He wants social America destroyed. It's on the chopping block for elimination. He's robbing ordinary people to make privileged ones richer.
