Americans have paid into Social Security and Medicare for over 70 years. The people of the United States of America expect these hard earned benefits to continue without being cut in any way and to receive regular raises through cost of living allowances.
Why is this important?
We expect our lawmakers to not put out negative press releases about the social security system we have invested in our entire adult lives. If there are cuts to be made let them come from those who are prospering; not those living check to check. We expect our President and Congress to treat our retirement system (social security and medicare) with the same respect they treat their OWN retirement funds. We expect our elected officials not to use something we have PAID our way in as a bully pulpit for their own political motives or ambitions.
