Social Security and Medicare are benefits for which we have paid. Please cut politicians salaries and benefits before you make more cuts to these programs. Congress should have medicare as their health insurance.

I have worked hard all my life& still workinghard,social security is not a intittlement we the people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAVE RIGHTS AND THAT,S OUR MONEY PLEASE DON'T RAISE THE AGE OF SOCIAL SECURITY IT SHOULD BE LOWER TWO 55 YEARS

To eliminate the lifetime special benefits to elected officials.

Social Security will run low on funds (though not as fast as fear-mongers state). To balance it requires either cutting benefits (including raising the retirement age) OR putting more money in. I'm in favor of raising the tax about 1% for employees and employers, so that benefits ARE NOT CUT AND THE SYSTEM REMAINS SOLVENT. If you survey 50 and 60 year olds I'd bet overwhelmingly they are glad they paid into Soc. Security and good benefits are coming. Do this and all the current 20 and 30 somethings will be glad when they reach 50 or 60.

We've recently heard from folks who are outraged that Congress and President Obama are considering cutting Social Security benefits for current and future retirees. Social Security does not add to the deficit and should be off the table on any fiscal deal.

stopping the repulicans from stealing socila security

My sister and disabled son both collect ss and they need every penny to live as upper poverty level.

Working Americans pay 13.1% of their earnings up to $110,100 in social security and medicare taxes. Those making more than that pay progressively less, so that a person earning $1,000,000 pays .01%. All Americans should be concerned about this gross tax discrimination, and our laws should be changed so that every American pays the same percentage of his or her income for Social Security.

Saving Face among the elderly who depend on Social Security benefits. Help them to keep their integrity during their retirement years.

I'm deaf disabilities because deaf people got frustrated to cannot find a jobs caused of discrimination all deaf people need a jobs that's very situlation some reason we have do right to getting a jobs for deaf NO DISCRIMMATIONAL but we have to pay rents and bills etc also we kept social security until if they hired deaf people getting a jobs and who's health problems cannot work because doctor said cannot work caused of serious health problem. Old people are citizen of senior their retired SSDI that's all please don't cut social security !!!!!

As a senior on social security, these cut to social security not only affect me but will certainly affect those coming up on retirement age please let your congressmen know how you feel about these cuts. Do not let these cuts to social security happened.

it is hard enough for middle and lower class people to live now. cost of living is hard to live anymore . many are loosing their homes already or have someone live with them to be able to keep their home . that is sad, work all your life and can not afford to live alone if you choose. now there is not much choice for many.I am on soc. sec. disability. I am making under $ 1200.00 MONTHLY. and I worked for nearly 28 years in a factory.I feel bad for the one's who make even less than I do. Father God is protecting me. I have no health insurance through medicare yet. I do not know why we have to wait 25 months before we qualify for soc.sec. medical benefits.I am blessed with a Christian Doctor who Loves people and don't charge me for his services a lot of times.medication is another issue of its own.many of us take medications. my sister went without her medicine for fibromyalgia .she could not afford it.I gave her the money for her doctor so she could pay the bill so she bought her prescription . she takes many other scrips also. and she is on soc.sec. waiting for her time to be up so she will at least have insurance. we do not understand why we have to wait 25 months to get medicare in the first place. so if they lower our soc.sec. regular money and other people,that would not be a good idea at all.WHEN WE WILL RECEIVE SOC.SEC. MEDICAL WE WILL LOOSE THE AMOUNT FOR THE MEDICAL OUT OF OUR CHECKS . SO WE WILL LOOSE $100. OR MORE OF REGULAR PAY. MAKING IT HARDER TO LIVE. Our Father God loves us all. we need more people to trust Jesus and follow Father God. when we truly have FAITH and follow Jesus he will be waiting. he wants our country to be a Great Nation. he wants us to pray For our President Obama even if we don't care for him as a President we must pray that he will makes the correct decisions. if we all pray as a nation, miracles will begin to happen in our Government. pray that those opposed will have a change of heart and realize we need soc. sec. to prosper always.. we the people of the united states need to petition and pray a lot more than what we have in the past many years. remember our mighty country used to believe IN GOD WE TRUST ! WHAT HAPPENED TO U.S.A. TO MANY BELIEVE HOWEVER, DON'T FOLLOW WHAT JESUS SAYS. SAD ! PLEASE TRY TO FOLLOW JESUS, HE IS THE WAY,TRUTH AND LIFE. YOU CAN NOT FOLLOW PART WAY AND EXPECT ANSWERS ! I TRIED THAT. GOD IS LOVE. PRAY WE WILL ALL BE TAKEN CARE OF.,LISTEN TO WHAT C H R I S T WANTS OF YOU. YOU WILL GO FAR ! FATHER GOD'S BLESSINGS TO US ALL ! OXOXOX IN GOD'S LOVE AND GRACE THANK YOU ALL .JESUS SAVES US FROM EVIL
