There are no protections for the elderly poor. They get an extra stipend which comes nowhere eridani Nov 2013 #25

You say that with the authority of someone who doesn't know Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #40

What is it with people who refuse to use Google? eridani Nov 2013 #65

I'm glad you agree cutting SS benefits is scary Oilwellian Nov 2013 #43

I'm not against raising the income cap for those taxes. I'm not against MH1 Nov 2013 #41

Raising the retirement age isn't what the Dem leadership is proposing Oilwellian Nov 2013 #42

You can reduce cost of programs without reducing benefits. JaneyVee Nov 2013 #12

EXACTLY! It is already happening under ACA. You can also increase medicare contribution payroll Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #14

Acutally, it's Obama's 2014 Budget Proposal that says so n/t Oilwellian Nov 2013 #16

I'm completely against any cuts to SS and Medicare. JaneyVee Nov 2013 #19

I guess Jackasses don't understand that "reform entitlements" might include raising the cap on SS. NYC_SKP Nov 2013 #22

Obama spoke of raising the cap during his campaign, it was exciting to me and helped win my vote Bluenorthwest Nov 2013 #34

It's not like the OP is filled with facts. Instead, it's based on speculation. NYC_SKP Nov 2013 #44

It's glaringly obvious... Oilwellian Nov 2013 #46

Bogus bullshit headline. nt BumRushDaShow Nov 2013 #29

Hmm. You misrepresent a quote and pre-emptively call those who will disagree "deniers" struggle4progress Nov 2013 #32

I misrepresented nothing Oilwellian Nov 2013 #35

As far as I can tell, Obama never said a word about cutting SS in that speech: struggle4progress Nov 2013 #61

Let's see... Oilwellian Nov 2013 #62

Of course, if you're concerned about chained CPI then you might more profitably post on that struggle4progress Nov 2013 #63
