Democrats Need to Allow Cuts

Everyone has to give.  The argument is that Democrats can't vote for SS cuts because it hurts their re-election campaign.  I don't agree.

Democrats have to vote for it.  We all have to give a little which also means ending Republican tax loopholes for billionaires.  And Democrats can vote for it because they didn't create the cuts.  Is a voter actually going to vote for the party that creates the cut over the party who was forced to vote for it?  And if they are concerned about losing to a fellow new Democrat then they're not looking at the big picture.  Our economic viability requires cuts now.
