Democratic President Barack Obama has officially proposed cutting Social Security by implementing what is known as Chained CPI.
Yes, you read that correctly...a Democratic president has proposed cutting Social Security, which millions of American seniors depend on to survive.
I am outraged, to put it mildly, at President Obama for stabbing progressives in the back. Obama ran on the messaging of the Wisconsin Uprising and Occupy Wall Street, which were movements of thousands upon thousands of ordinary Americans protesting the destruction of the social safety net and workers' rights, as well as the rampant economic inequality in this country, during his 2012 re-election campaign. President Obama pandered to progressives in order to win election to the White House twice, and now he has exposed himself for who he really is: a political manipulator who will say anything to get elected.
I am calling for Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to expel President Obama from the Democratic Party. Since, more than likely, that won't happen, we need to recruit true progressives, who are willing to protect America's social safety net, promote policies that are designed to expand the American economy and middle class, and protect the basic legal rights of the American people, to run in Democratic primaries against Democratic congressional candidates who support President Obama's War on Social Security.
It's time for a progressive takeover of the Democratic Party.
