President Barack Obama wouldn’t support changes to Social Security that would reduce payments to current beneficiaries or lead to sharp cuts in future benefits, his spokesman said.
“No current beneficiaries should see their basic benefits reduced,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said today. “We will not accept any kind of reform that slashes benefits for future beneficiaries.”
