Here Comes "Austerity Economics"

Social Security used to be called "the third rail" of American politics.  Anyone who touched it was in serious trouble.  But now, in pursuit of some sort of "grand bargain," the President and Congressional Democrats are offering to monkey with it to gain concessions from Republicans.  Call your Congressperson (202-224-3121) and tell him or her to leave the social safety net alone.
