Do not cut Social Security
Social Security is not the right place to address the deficit. Tell the President and your fellow members of Congress not to support any cuts in Social Security and not to change the way cost of living increases for retirees are calculated.
Why is this important?
There are a number of seniors who only have social security to live on, cutting Social Security by lowering cost-of-living adjustments for current and future retirees, will hurt seniors who have paid into the system for their whole lives and are already struggling with rising health care costs....Really, the last cost of living adjustment to seniors was 1 & 1/2%, which was actually taken away to do the increase in Medicare costs. Most seniors are receiving less per month than last year.
