  • Social Security
    People were promised the benefits ACCORDING to the current CPI - not a watered down one. People put their own money into the system and should not have it taken away. There should be no Cap on the income to which the tax applies.

  • Do Not Cut Social Security
    They can cut a lot of things but I don't know about you, but I am relying on Social Security when I get old. That's OUR money and now they want to take it away? I could think of a million places they could take it from - like their own inflated salaries and perks for starters....

  • Reject Chained CPI
    President Obama has officially included Chained CPI (Consumer Price Index) in his budget. This represents a direct cut to Social Security benefits. Social Security benefits should go up not down.

  • Say "no" to cost of living cuts for Social Security.
    President Obama proposes a change to the way cost of living increases are calculated for current and future senior citizens. Senior citizens are those 62 years of age and older. As a certified elder law attorney, I have advised over 7,000 senior citizens who rely on Social Security for 40% of their income. The proposed "chained CPI" would substantially decrease cost of living increases creating a hardship for these middle class seniors who faithfully paid into the system throughout their working lifetimes. This punitive idea will create a hardship for these senior Americans and should be rejected.

  • Save Social Security Cola

  • Looting of the Social Security "Trust" Fund
    The Social Security trust fund has been decreasing not because there are fewer workers for each retiree, but due to the fact that the money current retirees paid into the system was used for government projects. What happened to the "in trust" part of the equation, and the lock box where the money was to be kept away from wasteful spending by presidents and congress people over decades.

  • Stop the proposed cuts to Social Security
    I receive Social Security monthly! The amount of social security that I receive, is not enough now, to cover my expenses and food for the month. Lowering social security would be a disaster for me and all the elders that rely on it to live day to day. Medicines alone are a big expense every month! It should be increased, because of the cost of living increases constantly!
