Well the Devil is in the details, or maybe in this case is in the Guy writing the details, but early indications are that they might not be using the Budget to extract Social Security cuts. On the other hand their is still the Debt Limit Bill, and the rhetoric against Social Security works better when expressed in terms of long-term debt than medium term deficit, so this is certainly no time to let down our guard, and maybe an opportunity for some wonkery and explication of how Social Security finance really works.
We will know more tomorrow, but for the next few weeks the debate is likely to revolve around gutting Medicaid for the poor to finance lower tax brackets for corporations and millionaires.
Plus lest we forget an attack on Medicaid is an attack on potentially every Medicare recipient and particular those on DI. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term care, which means the severely disabled and more fragile of the seniors often end up falling back on Medicaid just to keep a roof over their heads and trained people close at hand. This isn't just about cutting medical care for poor kids and their mothers (though certainly that is in play), it is potentially an assault on every middle class family that has to confront the issue of long-term care. Saving Social Security doesn't mean much if you end up having to stretch your thousand buck a month check to cover thousands of dollars just to the nursing home alone.
So you may see more Medicare/Medicaid related stuff here, Ryan style class warfare in being launched on everyone in the bottom 98% and we need to show that 'solidarity' is not just a word in the dictionary.
