the monthly promised benefit of $2,032 would be cut by 45.9 percent to $1,099 a month. Ummm...someone needs to invest in a calculator.

Wow thats pretty high figure for benefits. Last I heard the highest was about $500 to $1500 for an average earner isnt it? It certainly isn't something that you can negotiate.

They miscalculated the amount in the paragraph above, as well. Or they think that .9% = 9%.

$2,032-$1,099 = $933/$2,032 = 45.9%

(Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary.)

Ummm...someone needs to invest in a calculator. I agree. Considering that SS is broke I would say this looks like a $1099 INCREASE for future SS recipients.
