Preserve Our Social Security
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. This terrible idea should be rejected
Why is this important?
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.
