Obama "My budget will ....not.....hurt students and seniors and middle-class families"*

Full quote;
"My budget will reduce our deficits not with aimless, reckless spending cuts that hurt students and seniors and middle-class families, but through the balanced approach that the American people prefer, and the investments that a growing economy demands,"

Sorry Mr. President you are wrong, you will de facto hurt seniors with your budget.







*Pardon my overuse of ellipses for brevity, but I don't think I changes the meaning.

I suppose its silly to ask, but I haven't seen any breakdowns or details at all, only a couple of quotes about it.

They're not aimless, reckless spending cuts that hurt seniors and students and middle-class families. They're shameless, feckless spending cuts that hurt seniors and students and middle-class families.
