Obama again offers Medicare, Social Security cuts

In an attempt to ease the automatic sequester budget cuts, President Barack Obama has again offered to reduce spending on Social Security and Medicare, two "entitlement" programs often targeted by Republicans.

But Republicans in Congress — and Democrats, in fact — haven't yet responded to the latest offer.

Saying "We have to make serious progress on long-term entitlement reform," White House official Gene Sperling said the offer by Obama was an attempt to acknowledge Republican priorities.

When only a few can bring down on its knees the economy of the most powerful Country, possibly of the whole World, you should learn what it is like to be governed by the concept of some “chosen people”.

Welcome to the Zionist Plan for a Greater State of Israel. 

The strategy for the survival of most of Humankind will have to delineate a new Direction to present to the people in alternative to the pyramidal system in which we live and solve the conflict at its root where is buried the dilemma between Individualism and Equality.

These two concepts today have a new meaning in light of a scientific discovery that binds one Progressive Science to Religion. 

The link that was missing between the two is Wavevolution.
