Walker Prefers Elderly & Ill Take The Hit

Scott Walker prefers cuts to Social Security, Medicare over federal 'sequester'

Warren Wisdom

As usual, Elizabeth Warren is making sense.

“You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did."
“Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea? God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

This is a point President Obama should have been making since day one in office.

There's plenty of money for bankers, Wall Street, and executive bonuses, but the poor need to "suck it up" and learn to do without. Disgraceful.

Social Contract

Safety nets are a good thing.
