Opoose any CPI change to Social Security by Obama

This is about President Obama's proposal to change the way cost-of-living increases are calculated for retirees on Social Security. As a future retiree in need of Social Security, the proposed "Chained CPI" would decrease cost-of-living increases for me and my fellow retirees and make those among the least able responsible for decreasing the deficit. This idea should be rejected.

Do not take any more money from SS or cut our Cost of Living raises which come very seldom.

The cuts to Social Security through the Chained CPI.

Prevent the reduction of social security benefits for those who have paid into the system.

President Obama is suggesting to cut the social security that all of our retired seniors depend on for living. This cut will effect every citizen in the US. It was hard enough earning a dollar why cut the benefits that were being paid with every single pay check going towards retirement income. Say NO to the cuts on social security.

Don't allow any cuts to social security or Medicare. You promised us to protect us against any cuts or reductions. Keep your promise as we promised to reelect you. I served my country in the military for 23 years active duty, national guard and the reserves. I became 100% disabled because service to my country in Vietnam, Iran and Saudi Arabia. We need regular cost of living increases for social security. My spouse and I have meager retirements and we need every dollar to survive. I am a kidney cancer survivor due to direct exposure to jungle defoliants that I guided the Air Force to spray in operation ranch hand missions while I was an army engineer helicopter pilot in Vietnam. My spouse has undergone her 7th knee replace my surgery. We vets and retired older Americans need your help Mr. President. If cuts are made, we and many others will lose our homes, our health and our faith in government. We love our country, but does our government love us? If we can't afford to live here any more, will we forced to declare bankruptcy and in poverty?

Thousands of good American citizens are already attempting to survive below poverty level. Far too many are homeless and hungry. For a great majority, the only thing that gives hope is a monthly payment from the social security fund that they worked most of life to contribute to.

I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY; TO CUT IT WOULD DROP US LOWER INTO POVERTY!

We senior citizens rely on our social security payments. We will become homeless if social security is cut. Find other means of handling the deficit.

Social Secuity is about allowing elgiable citizens the right to live a decent life without additional hardships. Considering, that the price of life's products increase annualy, how is one to live and keep pace, without an annual increase in the cost of living ?
