Cut Social Security & Veterans' Benefits? Cut the Pentagon Instead!
President Obama has endorsed cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits by using the "chained CPI" to lower the cost-of-living adjustment.

President Obama has re-affirmed his promise to begin withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan in July. But there is a great division in Washington over whether this will be a significant withdrawal that leads towards getting the U.S. military out of Afghanistan, or a mere token withdrawal that essentially leaves the status quo in place. A bipartisan Congressional letter is urging President Obama to make the July drawdown significant, not token.
