不出所料：OBama尝试削减福利

要开始效仿法国，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.

国家没钱，政府消减福利是必然的；许多美国人拿了payroll tax deduction沾沾自喜，却不知道这就是从福利基金中放血，接下来的就是政府消减福利。
