Papantonio: Obama Will Undo The New Deal

Mike Papantonio appears on The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann to talk about the disastrous cuts that could be on their way.

Obama is a plant. Remember... this all is happening with a democratic majority. There are no excuses... this will effect every US citizen who needs SS. The beginning of the end for the New Deal is being ushered in by a Democratic President and his loyalists are all behind it.

Even if he signs off on chained cpi - which he hasn't done (yet) - that does not undo the New Deal. It'd be wrong and awful, but the New Deal would still be in place.

There's plenty to be scared about without making up stuff.
