Conservatives oppose a “Grand Bargain” for deficit reduction that would cut Social Security benefits, according to a poll conducted by The Conservative Caucus Foundation. Such a bargain was opposed by 85.3%, while only 9.3% supported the idea.

Joe Biden, while serving as Barack Obama’s Vice President, negotiated with Republicans over a deal which would have cut entitlements such as Social Security and Medicare.

The poll, which was conducted by mail, also found that 94.2% support repealing income taxes on Social Security, while 85.5% take the same position for retirement income from IRA’s and 401(k)’s.

The idea of establishing a “blue-ribbon” commission to deal with the deficit, instead of following the normal legislative process, had only 5.8% support while 91.2% were opposed.

The Conservative Caucus Foundation (TCCF), founded in 1976, has published studies on many public policy issues, including a Constitutional Budget, ObamaCare, the Panama Canal, nuclear disarmament, border security and the presidential war power.

TCCF President, Mr. Peter J. Thomas
