No Social Security Cuts
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. We must take care of the aging population.
Why is this important?
This is about President Obama's proposal to change the way cost of living increases are calculated for retirees on Social Security. As a person dependent on Social Security, the proposed "chained CPI" would decrease cost of living increases for me and my fellow retirees and make those among the least able responsible for decreasing the deficit. Ourselves, our parents and our grandparents should be our top priority, and these cuts should be stopped. This terrible idea should be rejected.
