What do the liberals at AARP think about the latest from Obama as reported by AP: No cost-of-living increases forSocial Security recipients for the next two years!
The Social Security COLs, as everyone knows, are rigged to provide a tiny increase each year, much less than the true cost-of-living increase for seniors. Not only will these pittances be suspended for the next two years, but the Medicare premiums paid by the same seniors will INCREASE.
These Medicare premiums are automatically DEDUCTED from the Social Security payment every month. This means that America's seniors will receive a REDUCTION in.benefits in 2010, plus a FURTHER REDUCTION in 2011.
Obama's ACORN thugs will continue to receive raises as long as he's in office.
Remember when Bush's 100 billion, 200 billion, 300 billion deficits the past few years caused conniption fits among Obama and his lying Democrats the past few years. Obama has given us a deficit of more than THREE TRILLION in a few months. Obama has built in a 20 TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT within 10 years.
Besides being bankrupt, this nation has record unemployment and record home foreclosures right now. The Bush years, when we had to fight a vast war against terrorists, looks like an economic paradise compared to Obama who fights wars only against American citizens.
Yet most of the bast$#%s will vote themselves a cost of living raise every year!!!!!!!
How is no COLA considered “slashing”?
We sort of sound like the libs when conservatives tried to cut the rate of increase...”slashing” education, “slashing” Medicare... it was no such thing.
It should have been done when we had the Congress/White House and it should be done now. We’re broke.
(BTW: It affects military pensions too... my ox is being gored, too)
That notice came on a note with our Social Security checks over a year ago.
And the RATS banged the drum every year about Republicans cutting spending! Looks like the collapse of that Ponzi scam is now underway.
They are taking out more for Medicare out of the check. Just a bookkeeping gimmick to give them a smaller check.
Sometimes, especially with ratz, you have to hit them upside the head with a 2x4 just to get their attention.

whats up with linking to a place that require membership to read. FAIL
I think you pinged the wrong person. FAIL.
Hey, AND we will encourage them to suicide too..
That’s the point, exactly. Eliminating an increase is “slashing”.
You obviously grasp government math.

the Congress should do some real cuts in SS benefits, incrementally. Most of the people receiving those checks have a substantial net worth ... and they are receiving much more than is equitable, based on the actuarial realitities.
Meanwhile, the sob gives 73 million to Zimbabwe, 500 million in helicopters to the corrupt Pakistan, billions to Acorn and Gaza...
