My mother lives on a fixed income and part of that is social security. My siblings and I assist her when we are able; however, due to the rising taxes on EVERY THING as well as the rising COSTS of FUEL, GROCERIES, ETC. we cannot do as much. We all paid into social security; therefore, it is NOT an entitlement. Where did the money go that the government borrowed from Social Security before? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. PLEASE SOCIAL SECURITY ALONGE.

We all have been giving part of our salaries to social security and now, it is my main and only source of income.

Social Security benefits have been paid for by contributions of millions of seniors over their lifetime. We depend on their meager distributions to survive, in a country whose government has exploited this fund, and continues to betray it's constituents.

People worked and paid as much as 35% of their income into the SS fund, also the corporations the worked for contributed.

No cut to SS benefit annual cost of living adjustment.

Social Security is not YOURS to play around with. We the seniors of this country have worked all of our lives to have the comfort and security of a monthly check. We deserve to have all that we PAID for and with out our So Called leaders trying to claim it. Our survival is of up most importance to us and we demand what is rightfully ours. Our struggle is arduous, we are constantly trying to make a dollar out of .15 cents. I wish all of the people who make these rules were mandated to live for one year under our circumstances paying $1,000. or more for rent or mortgage and only receiving only $800.per month and being told there are NO cost of living raises in the making, Gas is $5.00 a gallon food is sky high,utilities are soaring and the beat goes on.

President Obama has proposed cutting Social Security by lowering cost-of-living adjustments for current and future retirees. These cuts, sometimes called "chained CPI," will hurt seniors who have paid into the system for their whole lives and are already struggling with rising health care costs.

Big bailouts to GM, banks, failed corporations, but cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. These are the the lifelines to millions of people, including the baby boomers.

being a recipient of SS now recently I cannot as well as many others I know afford to be without it or the cost of living adjustments, which really are not much to speak of.....bujt to lower them completely..is wrong and hurts too many in this country who have paid into this fund all their working lives!! I implore you to say no to Pres. Obama in this battle it is turning out to be....no matter which party , it is a human right and only the right thing to do is to oppose Pres. O's cutting the cost of living to SS incomes. Why do we who rely on this income now, have to be penalized,. brought to worry, and stress over this something we are totally entitled to!!!???? Please Mr Hoyer , as one of your voters, help to not cut SS. THank you! A, M\cGInley

I am 72, single & self-supporting, & receive $813 monthly in SS. I work part time, and will have to do so until I die. My increase this year was $10. Obviously I cannot afford any less.

President Obama insists on pushing these cuts to Social Security it's up to Democrats in Congress, including Michigan Rep. Dan Kildee, to say no.

I will be devastated by cuts, maybe I should just die early if I get sick, Allan Grayson was right, worked all my life hard to retire poor, shame on my favorite president of my life Barak Obama, PLEASE DON'T CUT MY EARNED RELIEF Benefits for my last few years on earth.
