Yes, I believe Social Security, the USPS pension fund and health care fund, and pensions for all but the higher government employees will all be enthusiastically attacked. That veto pen just may be a killer or savior of the next presidential election for the Dems.

So, lets unpack this malarkey. Here we have another Republican run state government that made shady backroom deal to cut corporate property taxes. Then they had to steal money from wage earners to balance the books.

Maybe if they had not passed the "largest tax cut in Iowa history" that gave away juicy handouts and other corporate tax subsidies that only benefit big business, there would be more tax revenues available to pay those retirees pension benefits they earned.


Governor, lawmakers brag about largest tax cut in Iowa history

The Central States pension fund is a big part of the problem. What you need to know about Central States:

Republicans always did. Not so Democrats.

But NOW that Democrats are mostly just Repub Lite, most support gutting Soc Security.

Every American who isn't fabulously wealthy is just a sitting duck waiting for these assholes to shoot us down.

And the IDIOTS who either voted Republican or didn't vote AT ALL are mostly to blame for the fact that most of us will never be able to retire or if we are forced to, will do so in abject poverty. That's what happened BEFORE social security and it will be that way again.

Congratulations. The New Deal is dead.

Someone here once told me: "relax. Obama will veto any Social Security cuts."

NO. He won't. He supports them and he has said so.
