GOP Deficit Insincerity May Save Social Security

Why GOP Insincerity May Be A Good Thing
US House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, arrives to give a press conference following President Barack Obama's vitist to meet with the House Republican Conference in Washington, DC, on March 13, 2013. Obama warned America will not balance its budget within a decade because Republican plans to do so would entail slashing social programs many citizens rely on for support. Even as he set out to woo lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including Republican foes, Obama called for an approach that restores fiscal stability but also protects healthcare for the poor and the elderly and shields the middle class.

It is hilarious how much the centrist deficit-hawk Grand Bargain cheerleaders detest Obama and blame him for his failure to get a Grand Bargain, because he often seems like the only person in Washington who legitimately, sincerely wants one.
