In his first term, Obama eliminated what had previously been the automatic annual Social Security cost of living increase that helped seniors and the disabled to defray higher costs of food and provisions, all the while giving his White House staffers a full 48% increase to their incomes, which allowed many to receive six figure incomes, and this is while he continued to suggest he wanted to promote fairness in our society? Then he stole billions from Medicare in order to create Obamacare which fully 3/4 of the electorate vociferously rejected, so which party is destroying both Social Security and Medicare? NOT the Republicans! Instead of further damaging the programs on which seniors and the disabled depend upon for survival such as Social Security and Medicare, he could eliminate Title X, cut back on funding of non-essentials such as the arts and bridges to nowhere, get the fed procurement people to shop Walmart instead of paying $200. for hammers and such, cut back on funding space travel through NASA, give less to the despots around the globe who hate us anyhow, and get busy encouraging the private sector to create more jobs through business tax breaks. Reagan brought us back off the cliff after the Carter recession – he would do well to use Reagan as the model for improvement if he really cared about saving the economy here. Repealing Obamacare (I know, he is not going to do that) and restoring that seed money to Medicare would keep that plan solvent for many years to come and then we could tweak the health care system we had until recently so that we do not end up throwing the health care baby out with the bath water. Most physicians already reject Obamacare and are in full support of getting it repealed in the first place. We could see the nation restored without robbing the already poor who need it the most, so leave the national programs such as Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid alone!
