Lower cost of living increases for Social Security

Do not cut cost of living raises to Social Security and benefits for retirees who have already paid for them to save the top 2 percent from tax raises.

Why is this important?

Our 1-1.7 percent increase to seniors will equal from $6 to $20 more a month but Medicare, medicine, gas, food, and utilities (just to name a few) are also going higher than that so we are really not getting a cost of living raise because it is costing more than that to live.
