Why is this important?
The notion that President Obama wants to cut social security is just preposterous and would have devastating effects on so many Americans! According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Social Security is the primary income for 65 percent of elderly beneficiaries. More than 14 million elderly Americans - including my grandmother - would be impoverished without it.
Social Security is not welfare or medicare; it is not "free" money, and it does not add to the national deficit. The majority of Social Security recipients worked their whole lives paying into this system, and they trusted the government with their investment. It's time for them to get the return they were promised - and not a penny less!
