President Obama is talking about cutting Social Security benefits. Social Security was never set up for the government to have access to in the first place. This is money paid by all the taxpayers and that we have worked hard for. For many seniors, this is all they get in retirement, and cutting this would harm millions of seniors already affected by the economy.

It will effect me in the furture.

I am a senior collecting social security. Please Mr President don not touch it.

Cutting Medicare benefits would put a hardship on our senior citizens!

Please sign this petition today for SC governor Nikki Haley to accept the federal money for Medicare under Affordable Care Act, that will create tens of thousands of jobs in SC. Please go to RemedySC.com to sign it.

Our conscience will not allow us to believe this is the right practice. There have to other ways to achieve the same goal. Do not change to a chained CPI system.

Rise of Health care and limited access to treatments.

It is rumored that President Obama feels he must descend to pandering to certain Tea-Party-inspired demands to make cuts in Social Security, and other programs deemed "entitlements." This is outrageous, and we beg honest and brave legislators to fight against the very idea. I, like many millions, live on the Social Security check I paid into all my life. My taxes pay the Legislators' salaries, and they sit around and block relief and progress. WHO are the entitled?? This sick perception of our democratic republic must be cured. Vote NO on Social Security cuts and/or dismemberment.

Why the urgency to cut into Social Security and veterans' benefits when so many Americans' rely on these benefits alone? The chained CPI will harm many Americans and weigh down many able to survive economically. Where are the cries to cut the most bloated budget of all, the military and DOD? Do we have cost overruns every year, year after year with Social Security---no--it's projected to run short in 20 years. In this day and age when the rich and corporations are not even paying taxes or the lowest ever and hiding their money in overseas accounts why don't we deal with what's really underlying our deficit--those that don't pay their fair share.

II am an ESRD patient who depends solely on Social Security for my income.

We live in Milford PA and are concerned about the economy of our town when essential recreational and public land is being shut down by the National Park Service, and agency that is directly under the Minister of the Interior, as a result of sequestration. The amount of money that is cut is marginal compared to the loss cuts loss of revenue to the town and surrounding areas. We urge Jonathan Jarvis to open his eyes to the consequences and find another, less pernicious place to save $250,000.

Massachusetts has an historic opportunity to make a real investment in our schools, roads, and public transit in order to create good jobs and strengthen our communities. Yet this week, the legislature is faced with voting on an inadequate proposal. We can’t continue to kick the can down the road. Now is the time to be bold and address our aging trains and schools, our crumbling roads and bridges.
