Not only is taking away benefits for which people had already paid outrageous, it's downright obscene at a time when these people have just seen much of the wealth in their homes and their retirement savings disappear in the crashes of housing & the stock market. Making matters even worse is that fact that Peterson's friends in the financial industry, along with many of the economists who would like to cut Social Security, were the primary culprits in this nightmare.
