Congress insists to cut Social Security even though this is a program that is fully funded by us the people. Social Security does not affect the deficit because it is a program already paid for by taxing our wages. I do not deny that modifications have to be made to the collection of the Social Security Taxes, (increase the cap 110,000 and increase the rate of these taxes), but this modifications need to be separated from the negotiations for the Budget, since Social Security is already funded by us. If our Congress and Senate insist on modifying our Social Security I propose that they also make reductions, cuts and increase the age for their pensions. I think that would only be fair since they insist on making cuts to a program that has already been paid for.

Reform gun control laws to reduce violence using guns.

Because of what happened in Newtown CT. There is talk of gun control. Hunters and gun advocates don't want to give up their right and I feel we should all be able to provide protection for ourselves and our family's. Since it's not the gun deciding who to kill it's the person holding it I think anyone that wants to own/carry a gun should have to have a mental health evaluation. Also a family therapy session maybe 3 sessions. You typically have to wait 3 days for a permit anyway.

Stop killings in America

John Boehner has been the disruptive leader for the party of NO. His efforts have done nothing to further the good of the country, and he should resign his position, or be recalled.

A Financial Transaction Patriot Fee: Raising Revenue and Restraining High-Speed Trading could raise $350 Billion over ten years

I am currently on Social Security,and i can tell you unequivocally it is impossible to live a decent life on SS as it stands today.To reduce benefits any further would be outright CRIMINAL!!

Enact a national policy to equip schools with non-lethal defensive measures, like Tasers or Taser like defenses. Such defenses are quick to deploy, low cost compared to other solutions, can remain in place as a fallback plan and will ensure students and staff are not accidentally injured or killed, as well as ensuring assailants survive to face justice.

John Boehner is proving he is not working for his constituents, consequences must be imposed upon him.

This effects everybody. We pay for their retirement benefits while we live on $1000-1600 when we retire. This bill was passed without our knowledge. No company, organization, or agency in the world has benefits like that, because no employer would permit it. WE THE PEOPLE are the employers of these elected officlals! Yet none of us got a say in this! We didn't vote for it; we didn't approve it. Let's end it!

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.
