of our years of contributions.

That the subject is even being discussed scares me. What are we to do, sue the government 'en masse'?

Like others. My husband and I paid for in for about 50 years. He collected for about 3 years before he died. I now get his benefit which is a little larger than mine. Of course, my payments went away, never to be seen again.

This whole debate stinks. What are recipients to live on, air? It is my only income and as it is, things are a constant juggle.

Many folks in DC are being very short sighted about this issue. When every house lived in by an old timer goes on the market in order to generate food money, real estate will dive. The housing market will bottom out, nothing will sell because there is just too much on the market.

Lets not forget, who will pay the bills. No $$ for utilities, food, phone, taxes, medical care etc.

Unbelievable that our lawmakers are so stupid.
