[Pen-l] Obama plans to go after Medicare and Social Security

["Charles Brown" <charlesb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim Devine:

It depends on how much pressure is put on him from the left. His
administration's politics should be seen as mostly being a "dependent
variable," where the contending political-economic forces are
"independent variables" to a larger extent. At least pressure from the
left is something that we might have some effect on. We should just
assume that BHO will be on the receiving end of a right-wing
shit-storm if he deviates from the DC orthodoxy. Without
counter-pressure, he'll likely slide to the right the way his
predecessor Clinton did...

CB: Hear, hear. Change comes from below, not above.
