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.

TAMSA is a statewide, grassroots organization comprised of parents and other community members concerned with the overemphasis on high stakes STAAR tests and the misallocation of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to the tests that should be going to the classroom. Our mission is to improve public education in Texas through the use of meaningful and effective student assessments that allow for more productive classroom instruction and more efficient use of public funds.

Keeping S.S. and Medicare off the bargaining table will deny the radical republicans the tool they are after to enable privatization of our paid insurance policies.

The President wants to cut benefits, I don't know about anyone else but i can't afford any more cuts!

there is no reason to cut cost of living as we went at least 4 yrs without a raise and this was the first we had a slight increase. we are not the problem. there are bigger fish to catch.

This will hurt the Disabled the Retired and our Disabled Veterans and is Just Plain Wrong!!

I paid into this system for over fortyfive years, did not retire until age 71, and expect to receive my share for the rest of my life Anthony Esposito

cutting social security

I, and many others have worked for many years paying into Social Security. Personally, I worked for 49 years, since I was 14 years old, and have fortunately NEVER been unemployed. I voted for, and support President Obama, BUT, he must not take from the less fortunate, and give more to the 'Well to do' - It is simply wrong! Prices on every item go up, everyday, NOT down! I am shocked and very disappointed in our President, that he and congress would allow this to happen. PLEASE, urge OUR LEADERS, to NOT CUT SOCIAL SECURITY, OR VETERANS BENEFITS. I never thought I would get personally involved in this important issue, but I cannot allow the Tea Party/Republicans, or Obama to try to balance the budget off the backs of the less fortunate. Please help. Thank You.

In 2011, Governor Walker and the Republican Legislature passed a budget that contained the largest cuts to public education in Wisconsin history – $1.6 billion gone from our kids’ schools. Class sizes went up drastically. Quality after-school programs were eliminated. Good teachers were laid off. This year, the governor’s proposed budget freezes public school spending, while increasing funding for unaccountable and unproven private voucher schools. Tell Governor Walker and the state Republicans to stand up for our kids and not special interests that want to profit on the backs of our future generations.

Social security is a big part for millions of senior citizens. Balancing the budget by cutting a earned investment is Un- American.
