45. I have a question
Everyone seems to be saying that we can cut $650 billion from Medicare and Social Security and not have it effect anyone. How does that make sense in any way shape or form? Is there anyone in this country who actually believes that we can cut that much money from SS and medicare and have it not negatively impact those programs?

Seriously, how are people not more upset about the fact that Obama offered up that much in cuts to programs that work exactly how they are supposed to and save lives? It sounds like a really bad joke when people say that we can cut that much and not have it effect anything. What am I missing?
