“This past weekend, Sen. Dick Durbin, the second most powerful Democrat in the Senate, appeared on Fox News Sunday and told host Chris Wallace that he would support cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits as part of a grand bargain with Republicans.

“These vital and hugely successful programs deserve to be strengthened and expanded, not cut. The last thing we need is a powerful Democrat going on national television and saying he's open to making a deal with the Republicans that includes benefit cuts. “

Here’s a suggestion, if  Social Security and Medicare benefits must be cut, how about cutting all Senate and Congressional members salaries and benefits the same amount Social Security and Medicare benefits are cut.
