"Euro News: Cairo is in uproar following President Mursi's announcement that he will rule by decree until a new parliament is installed.

Our correspondent Mohammed Shaikhibrahim is in the Egyptian capital:

"The protest transformed into running battle between police and demonstrators on Mohammed Mahmud Street. At least ten people have been injured and rushed to hospital. Police are firing tear gas rounds in an attempt to disperse the crowds.

Protesters say the demonstrations will escalate in coming hours and continue into the night.

Egyptian security forces have formed a cordon around the Interior Ministry to prevent the crowds from moving on the government building."

"Euronews (styled on-air in lowercase as euronews) is a European television news network, headquartered in Lyon, France. The network began broadcasting on 1 January 1993 and covers world news from a European perspective.

The majority of Euronews (88%) is owned by Portuguese investment management firm Alpac Capital,[2][3][4] with the rest partly owned by several European and North African public and state-owned broadcasting organizations.

It is a provider of livestreamed news, which can be viewed in most of the world via its website, on YouTube, and on various mobile devices and digital media players."

In other words: rule by executive order. Well, at least this will the give the Parliament more incentive to form and organize, so they can represent a check on President Morsi's power.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders: Social Security

"Ronald Reagan was Right"

Senator Sanders and President Reagan perhaps agreeing on something for the only time in their lives, that Social Security is not the cause of our debt and deficits. Well, not really, because within 20-25 years if nothing is done to reform the program we're going to see more people collecting from Social Security than collecting from it. 

Not sure what generation that Senator Sanders considers himself being a member of being born in late 1941, but having to deal with all of the cultural issues that every other Baby Boomer from the 1960s dealt with as young adults. But the Baby Boomers (and perhaps Bernie considers himself to be a member of) are going to eat away at the Social Security program. Even Senator Sanders has suggested reforms to it. Like lifting the cap on the amount of income that could be taxed to fund Social Security. 

It is not just fiscal Conservatives who see issues with Social Security that should be addressed. Center-Left Democrats and others who are in Congress, as well as even Democratic Socialists like Bernie Sanders, who believe changes to the program need to be made, to make the program as strong as it needs to be.
