President Obama made an offer to Republican John Boehner to cut Social Security benefits and leave in place some of the Bush tax cuts for the top 2%.
For many retirees this would mean critical cuts to benefits that cover medicine, food, and basic survival. Cost of living keeps rising and it is getting increasingly difficult to make ends meet. This personally effects me, as it does many.
I can no longer work as an RN, drive, walk, live alone, have MS and struggle to make ends meet EVERY month, and that is to cover bills, medication, supplemental insurance, food.
I would appreciate support in this matter, as I speak for many. If cuts need to be made, they need to look at other options...that are more realistic.
Thank you for your time and anything you can do to advocate this
Why is this important?
Cutting social security benefits should NOT be an option as we are struggling to make ends meet every day, and with rising cost of living, they are proposing the impossible for many...sort of like turning water into wine or parting the Red Sea! With each passing month, and rising costs, things are getting increasingly difficult. We do have options...food, medication, shelter...which will I do without this month! Hard to understand if you don't experience this every month.
