Scaling back Social Security benefits is not an option

We have already seen how the tax cuts signed by the President have allowed companies to give back to their employees in the form of bonuses and higher wages, which will help them and our economy. I don't believe scaling back Social Security or Medicare are options--people have paid into these programs with the expectation that they will be made available to them as they age and retire.
