TED CRUZ just screwed YOU out of your Social Security income...at least he did for me! I was getting widow benefits...but no more! Obama was happy to sign it!

[snip]Politicians describe Social Security as “the third rail,” meaning that enacting any benefit cuts will kill them politically. But this is precisely what they voted to do under the Bipartisan Budget Bill of 2015.
Spouses as well as divorced spouses (who were married for 10 or more years) who reached 62 by Jan. 2 can still collect just their spousal or divorced spousal benefit between 66 and 70 and then take their own retirement benefit at 70. (there are many other cuts as well!)

TED CRUZ VOTED FOR THIS
Cruz (R-TX), Yea

Rand Paul voted against it. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), also voted Nay

They had to get the money they are giving to the refugees from somewhere.

Obama budgets $17,613 for every new illegal minor...
More than Social Security retirees get!

They cut senior’s benefits while giving illegal alien kids $17,000 a year. These people need run out on a rail.
