The Hill, By Erik
Wasson, February 15, 2014
President Obama is facing a
deepening dilemma about whether to abandon cuts to Social Security in his next
fiscal blueprint, which is due out in March.
Obama touched the third rail
of American politics last year when he proposed a new formula for Social
Security and other entitlements that would result in benefits being cut over
time.
Now congressional Democrats
and unions are ramping up their pressure on Obama to drop the proposal, which
many fear could become an albatross for the party in the midterm elections.
