What do Presidents Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr. all have in common?
None of them cut Social Security to reduce the deficit – but President Obama's new budget proposal will do just that. His plan would especially slash benefits for future retirees, and the cuts just keep getting worse year over year.
President Obama included these cuts, known as the chained CPI, in his "grand bargain." He released his budget today, and he needs to hear that these cuts are completely unacceptable.

Go to the link if you want, but I hesitate to give these Jag-offs the hits. The essentials are printed in the excerpt.
Lame duck will now go full bore Socialist.
Impeachment will look better by the day
I will forego ALL social security income and they can KEEP everything I have put in up to now, if I can keep the 15% of my income myself from monw on.
Hey, AARP, you fools are just learning that Obama has thrown the old folks that made this country great under the bus!!! Ah.....what the heck...us old dudes and gals only have a short time left before we kick the bucket!!! Tyranny & destruction is alive and well in the Obama heart & playbook!!!
EVERYONE who befriends the assclown will eventually learn the lesson the frog learned about the scorpion who wanted a ride across the stream.
0 and the dems really don’t care about old people. In fact, they want them dead.
Lol, speaking of AARP. My boss just asked me about the Conservative alternative to AARP.
Said he was dumping AARP because they are too socialist and he knew I would know what he was talking about.
Found it and gave it to him. Now I must follow up (probably wind up doing it for him) to dump AARP and sign him up with AMAC.
It will be my pleasure!
See my post #8!
Are the GOP going to grab this and use it to their advantage, or hit the snooze button and roll over yet again?
The "chained" CPI is an even bigger fraud. The basic idea is that if people change the contents of their "market basket," the CPI should be changed to reflect that. Sounds sensible, right? As usual, the devil is in the details. Suppose that I like steak, and eat it regularly. However, the price of steak goes up to where I can no longer afford it. Instead I switch to chicken, which is cheaper. I like chicken, but not as well as I like steak. In my view, my standard of living has declined. I've had to substitute something less preferred for something more preferred, which I can no longer afford. My "chained" CPI does not reflect my reduced standard of living. In fact, if prices continue to climb, and I end up eating dog food, the "chained" CPI will continue to show that my expenditures haven't gone up, because my new "market basket" consists of things that I can afford.
The government has found yet one more way to lie to us.
The mighty AARP lost mine when I mailed them my cut upped card over Obamacare!!!
Snooze.
I have been getting solicitations from AARP for nearly twenty years and I always respond by sending the empty envelope back to them by return mail.
I do roughly the same thing, but include a note “How is that ObamaCare thing working out for you?”
