Are we prepared to barter social security for war?

Yeah, I’m fairly sure this is the GOPs political calculation:
I don’t suppose anyone will dare make the point that the Republicans will be agreeing to launch yet another war in exchange for cutting even more vital services for Americans at home. (Well, besides Alan Grayson…) But that’s what this will be if the GOP is successful in using their “leverage” on Syria to get the cuts they (and plenty of Democrats also) want on the budget. American poor, sick, old and young will be paying for yet another military debacle out of the already meager stipends they get from the government.
