This partisan-"hyped" Fiscal Cliff negotiations behind "closed-doors" and in back rooms, needs moved back INTO the public view of CSPAN cameras in our Democracy. Any Budget shortages should NOT be carried on the 'backs' of Seniors, from a TRUST FUND (Social Security) no one BUT Social Security recipients should be touching, or deciding on.
Why is this important?
The President sadly forgot his pre-Election 'promise' that Social Security was NOT part of Budget/Deficit; and would NOT be "on the table" in Budget Negotiations. A President now offering cuts to COLA (clearly to "pay" for tax cuts now raised to $400K earners). Extremely limited income Seniors should NOT be cutting pills, or meals, or utility bills in-half to save Millionaires' "interest" income.
