WASHINGTON, July 26 (UPI) -- Some liberals in the U.S. Congress worry that President Obama would be open to scaling back Social Security and Medicare if he wins a second term.
Senators Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, and Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democrats, cite his silence on the campaign trail, The Hill reported. They say the president has criticized a budget plan backed by Mitt Romney, the likely Republican nominee, that would lead to sharp cuts but has not unequivocally said he will make none of his own.
