Psychologically Cruz and Obama are peas in a pod.
SO RIGHT! Both had absent fathers and dysfunctional childhoods. Both Harvard trained mouthpieces. Both Foreign born...at least we KNOW CRuz was! Both hold awards for most absentee first term senators with NO practical business experience. Both headed the Harvard law review...Ted under the name of RAFAEL for the LATINO law review.
Neither of them give a rip about us or this country.
Donald Trump is the one who will keep his promise not to take away our benefits. Some cuts, I can live with and welcome...but this is over the top.

As I understand the articles ...
Some widows could double dip .. their dead spouse's SS and their own from their own working contributions and now you can just get the higher of the two
I'm not sure I'm 100% correct, but that's what it reads like to me

So how did your Senators vote? And why dredge up a vote that was taken nearly a year ago? Methinks your purpose was merely to take a shot at Cruz.
SS is on the fast track to insolvency, and this is merely trimming around the edges.

To: AuntB
Other than for disability, why should ANY spouse not old enough to be collecting Social Security benefits receive the benefits their dead spouse was receiving?
Cuts are necessary and this cut makes sense. Someone dies and their benefit continues to be paid to their spouse? That's ridiculous.
To: AuntB
"I was getting widow benefits...but no more..."
The money that was put in there for that purpose has already been spent on other things (by people you may have voted for).
You are now collecting money that is being taken out of MY paycheck.

Cruz wants to see them dead in the street.
To: AuntB
social security was a ponzi scheme when FDR inflicted it upon the country 80 years ago.

From the sounds of things, by the time you get old enough to get any benefits, they will be gone, better start working more than 5 jobs a day to make sure you live in a box and not out on the street!!!

It gets rid of some of the tricks people would play. Most people don't even know about them. Financial planners are always touting them. Has no impact on most people.
