No idea what to call this.

There is an 'article??"" on Yahoo--"White House rolls out budget with entitlement cuts"

Reading the comments to this.. what.. report?, news?.. whatever it is...is a little frightening. It is full of ignorance, along with actually with some facts.. but so scrambled up when discussing, Obama's SS 'cuts, SS in general, 'welfare queens,' the 'poor',, 'the poor taking my money,' SS as welfare, who is doing what to whom.. Bush tried to save us by trying to turn over part of SS to the stock market and now Obama is stealing my money....totally mixing up fact and fiction....

I know 99% of the comments at Yahoo are ignorant idiocy (why do I go there, that's the best questions?? ) BUT,, if this is any indication of what the low information set is thinking and believing...not good..
Here's a link if you care to check out what I mean...

Maybe it's nothing, just me, but.... maybe it is like the old canary in the coal mine...
