Liberals worry Obama would agree to entitlement cuts in second term

The Hill reports:

Liberal Democrats and their allies are concerned that President Obama has not made more of an effort to talk on the campaign trail about protecting Social Security and Medicare.

Obama has criticized Mitt Romney and Republicans for endorsing the budget from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), which would create a premium support system to compete with Medicare, but that rhetoric is of little comfort to liberals who remember the concessions he floated in last year’s deficit negotiations.

Great moments of the Bismarck Welfare State in America.
