Just now on the MSNBC cable program "All In with Chris Hayes", faux liberal Jonathan Alter, son of the late Chicago politico JoeAnn Alter, is talking, as he had many times elsewhere and in print, in favor of of cuts to both SS & Medicare. Senator Jeff Merkley is also on the show and pushing "means testing" be applied to these programs. IMO to do that will also end these programs and will turn them into welfare programs which will hasten their demise. Host Chris Hayes, who btw is also from Chicago, is one voice of sanity on this program.
