Van Jones petition against Social Security cuts

Maybe he's just another racist?

Reports say that when President Obama unveils his budget this week, it will include $112 billion in Social Security cuts. If so, President Obama would be the first Democratic President *ever* to propose cutting Social Security!

The administration says these cuts would come about only in the context of a so-called "balanced" compromise. But the numbers tell a different story. Economist Dean Baker notes that these cuts would hit the average retiree three times as hard as the recent tax increases hit the top 1%.

Social Security does not add a dime to the deficit. Cutting it to pay for the cost of the Bush tax cuts and Bush wars is simply wrong.
