{Political_Views} Fwd: Tell Senate Republicans: It's crazy to cut Medicare and Social Security

 

Dear Friend,

No matter how dire the situation, Senate Republicans seem determined to
prove they can act irresponsibly.

Senate Republicans are unanimously supporting a draconian constitutional
amendment that they claim will balance the budget, but is really nothing
but a cowardly ploy to force devastating cuts to vital social programs,
including Social Security and Medicare, while writing into the
constitution an impossible requirement -- a two-thirds vote -- to raise
taxes.

Last week, in a column called "Getting to Crazy," Paul Krugman closed by
noting that "there has been no pressure on the G.O.P. to show any kind of
responsibility, or even rationality -- and sure enough, it has gone off
the deep end."

I agree. We both need to be part of that pressure. Even if it's unlikely
that Republicans will break ranks and do the right thing, we must hold
individual Republicans accountable to reality and let them know their
constituents see through their fantasy proposals.

I just signed a petition telling Senate Republicans: It's crazy to cut our
Social Security and Medicare benefits while protecting the Koch brothers
and Paris Hilton from paying their fair share.

I hope you do too. You can find out more and take action at the link
