• President Obama: Don't Cave in on Social Security
    Those of us who have contributed FICA taxes throughout our working years would be very disappointed if Social Security benefits (not entitlements) are a part of ANY negotiations before you. Remember, WE WORKED HARD TO HAVE YOU RE-ELECTED. Do not let us down by bowing to the losers.

  • Social Security cuts only for the wealthy seniors.
    Any senior with assets over $1,000,000 can afford not to receive $15,000 year in SS benefits. Let them pass that money back into Social Security to keep the fund alive for senior to come.

  • Stop cuts in Social Security & Medicare
    Being one of the many retirees in this age, we have paid into this system all our lives, since we began working some of us as early as 16 yrs old while in school. We deserve to be able to have SS and Medicare available for us when we need it! All of us were not as fortunate as others to retire from a high paying job with benefits to have enough to live on and have medical care. This is what we paid for to have SS & Medicare! It should not be cut at all! Find the cuts elsewhere.

  • Cuts to Social Security and Medicare are unacceptable.
    The GOP once again is targeting Social Security to balance the budget. There are too many senior citizens in this country dependent on this income. Cutting Social Security is not the solution to reducing the deficit.

  • Don't Weaken Social Security
    There are reports in the press suggesting that President Obama may be willing to reduce future cost of living adjustments for Social Security recipients as part of a "fiscal cliff" deal. The fact of the matter is that even the present basis for calculating adjustments does not keep up with inflation because of the disproportionate contribution of health care costs to their total expenditures. Reducing future adjustments would only make things worse.

  • OBAMA PUTS MEDICARE ON THE TABLE
    I am on SSI and have a contract with the government, not an entitle ment. I paid for it. Obama is a brillant speech giver, he talks the talk but can he walk the walk?

  • Preserve our Social Security
    I am quickly reaching retirement age, and with having worked independently my whole life, I only have social security to depend on for funds with which to retire. The re-directing of social security funds to counterbalance previous inappropriate legislative financial and corporate mistakes are an overt insult to the American people and are tantamount to the federal felony of grand theft.

  • Do not cut Social Security
    Congress: Cut your own spending (e.g., staff, pension, and medical plan) and adopt Social Security and Medicare for yourself just as the people you represent. Lead by example.
