For weeks now I have read conflicting articles and commentaries here on Kos stating that the president will/will not offer up cuts to SS and Medicare in his "Grand Bargain". Today the articles by readers seem to be heavily in the "he will/has offered up cuts to both" column. Granted, I am human and may have missed it, but I would greatly appreciate it if Daily Kos would do an in-depth, current report on this issue. To me, it is number one in interest. And the folks at Obama's new group are pressing me to join - but I will not until I know he is sticking with his promise on the campaign trail to protect SS and Medicare. Offering them up to Rethugs to cut is not protecting them. I do not wish to start screaming "He's betrayed us!" until I know the facts, which are precious few in the media at the moment. All contradictory. I trust Daily Kos to tell the full and unvarnished truth. Please give us an up-to-date article on this very important subject. Thank you.
