The Social Security trust fund has been decreasing not because there are fewer workers for each retiree, but due to the fact that the money current retirees paid into the system was used for government projects. What happened to the "in trust" part of the equation, and the lock box where the money was to be kept away from wasteful spending by presidents and congress people over decades.

A felon who has done his time is forever paying for his mistake. They loose many of their rights, rights guaranteed them under our constitution. They have 'OFFENDER' stamped across their state I.D. and not just sex offenders. The way the system is set up makes it almost impossible for them to find employment, in turn leading them back to crime in order to support themselves.

I receive Social Security monthly! The amount of social security that I receive, is not enough now, to cover my expenses and food for the month. Lowering social security would be a disaster for me and all the elders that rely on it to live day to day. Medicines alone are a big expense every month! It should be increased, because of the cost of living increases constantly!

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.

Colorado is famous for its "three hundred days of sunshine," yet less than 1% of our energy comes from the sun. We have plenty of sunshine for solar, but what we need is the leadership: Gov. Hickenlooper needs to see that thousands of people want real solar power in Colorado. Help us get 10,000 signatures to the governor to show him that it’s time for 21st-century energy.

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.

Say no to President Obama's proposal to cut Social Security by lowering the cost-of-living adjustment for current and future retirees.

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.
