No, CNN and Erin Burnett, gutting Medicare and Social Security is not the only way to balance the US budget

Cenk Uygur calls out CNN host Erin Burnett for challenging Congressman Peter Defazio on the necessity of entitlement reform. “The idea that we have to cut Medicare and Social Security to the bone is not the only idea out there,” Cenk says. He also points out that Democrats have already offered to cut $400 billion from Medicare and make the program more efficient. “I thought CNN was supposed to be objective, but what’s interesting is that when it’s a pro-establishment position, CNN is ready to go and defend the fortress.”
