It will be a hard thing to do now though, as they will do as Bachman is doing, tell you that it is not Republicans who are willing to cut SS benefits, it is Democrats.

of those who did nothing to cause recession. Why should the middle class and poor be held responsible for the mess created by Wall St. and the wealthy? How about some personal responsibility on their part. Cut corporate welfare, tax loopholes for the rich, blank checks to the Pentagon. And raise taxes on the rich and Wall St. Everyone talks about shared sacrifice, the rich sacrifice nothing. Paying taxes shouldn't earn them praise. The poor and mid class fight our wars, build our Nation, serve our communities, AND pay taxes.
