Remarks By Obama To The WSJ CEO Council...We Need To Cut SS & Medicare Benefits

[Pretzel_Warrior]

13. looks like you didn't read it very closely. did you know people who are millionaires can draw SS?

as your own link points out, the thing you guys keep harping about 'it's going to force retired impoverished people to accept less and less real $ each year so they will not be able to survive' when, in fact, it would only be agreed to by this president if it was accompanied by the protections and safeguards for the elderly poor mentioned right below it. Namely, increased amounts indexed based on how long a person was long-term on social security and starting at age 75 which is 9 years after someone can currently retire and receive full benefits.

So, contrary to the spin put out by you and others, the president's agreement to even consider chained CPI comes with a number of caveats which address the very thing you throw out there as a scare tactic.

Thanks for the link. You will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
