1. Create the deficit commission to set the stage and promote social safety net cuts.

2. Extend the Bush tax cuts so deficit hawks would have a good strong argument during the contrived debt crisis.

3. Cut FICA taxes essentially sawing the legs off social security.

Remember, all three were actions done by Obama, while he had a majority in the house and senate, completely of his own accord.
