• Do Not Cut Social Security
    They can cut a lot of things but I don't know about you, but I am relying on Social Security when I get old. That's OUR money and now they want to take it away? I could think of a million places they could take it from - like their own inflated salaries and perks for starters....

  • Reject Chained CPI
    President Obama has officially included Chained CPI (Consumer Price Index) in his budget. This represents a direct cut to Social Security benefits. Social Security benefits should go up not down.

  • Say "no" to cost of living cuts for Social Security.
    President Obama proposes a change to the way cost of living increases are calculated for current and future senior citizens. Senior citizens are those 62 years of age and older. As a certified elder law attorney, I have advised over 7,000 senior citizens who rely on Social Security for 40% of their income. The proposed "chained CPI" would substantially decrease cost of living increases creating a hardship for these middle class seniors who faithfully paid into the system throughout their working lifetimes. This punitive idea will create a hardship for these senior Americans and should be rejected.

  • Looting of the Social Security "Trust" Fund
    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.

  • Their debt to society is paid.
    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.

  • Stop the proposed cuts to Social Security
    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!

  • STOP MESSING WITH SOCIAL SECURITY
    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.

  • Social Security Cuts
    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.
