不出所料：OBama嚐試削減福利

要開始效仿法國，提高SS eligible age：

The White House also has said that Obama will not offer any proposals to reduce long-term spending in Social Security, even though Obama had suggested to Boehner reducing annual cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security recipients. The idea drew loud objections from Democrats.

Now Democrats are waiting to see what Obama proposes to do with Medicare, the government health care program for older people.

In his talks with Boehner, Obama was willing to go along with gradually increasing the eligibility age for Medicare beneficiaries from 65 to 67.

國家沒錢，政府消減福利是必然的；許多美國人拿了payroll tax deduction沾沾自喜，卻不知道這就是從福利基金中放血，接下來的就是政府消減福利。
