This is absurd! And any Democrat who agrees with Obama on this should be ousted immediately, including our Quisling Jason Altmire. In case you didn't know, he favors dumping social security in favor of letting you invest - and lose - your money in the Stock Market, just like so many millions did in 2008. And just because the market is back up, the money you lost is STILL gone and you have to start over with nothing! Do you have enough time for that?

Call this Bluedog Democrat now and tell him that he can not support anything that could kill social security.

By the way, while you seniors didn't get a Cost of Living increase this year because Obama and the Republicans and many Democrats spent too much of your money in Afghanistan, remember that THEY got a 1% raise. 1%! Big deal you say? They make $174,000 a year. They get $1740 extra dollars per year of your money and you get nothing. The average social security payment is around $1000 per month. 1% of that is ten lousy bucks, $120 per year - and it's taxable (Jason can invest that extra money to make more since he doesn't worry about where his next meal is coming from)! And you're supposed to live on that while he and they get one hundred seventy four times as much as you? is it because they and their families are more important than you and yours?

If you think that way, don't ever complain again.

Call the guy at this number: 724- 226- 1304

and tell him not to touch social security, which, by the way does NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT THE DEFICIT. So if you hear that, you're being lied to. Social Security is solvent through 2037 and even then, if nothing is done,benefits will reduce by less than 20%. Do you think your investment can stand losing everything again in another Wall Street Criminal Action?

You want a solution? There's a simple one but the President and Congress don't want to use it because they want their buddies on Wall Street to get richer. All that's needed is to increase the social security cap from $106,000 and make the rich pay their fair share. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office, a TOTALLY NON-PARTISAN DEPARTMENT) has determined that that simple fact will insure social security until 2075! But you won't hear anything about that from Altmire or the media.

When you call, ask him about that. If he gives you ANY excuse or run-around that it won't work, ask him why he disagrees with the CBO and economic experts, you know, the ones who do these things for a living...rather than cater to the whims of Altmire's 3% wealthy in his district!

Call 724- 226-1304!

It's YOUR MONEY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE he's giving away!

Here's the reason the bill shouldn't pass!

The innocent-sounding payroll tax holiday, on the other hand, will lead inexorably to killing Social Security. Let me explain:

Sixty members of the Senate are unwilling to raise taxes by 3 percent on the $250,000 and first dollar (and all those dollars earned above $250.001) of those making over $250,000 and by 1.6 percent more (for a total of 4.6 percent) on the $384,860 and first dollar {and all those dollars earned above $384,861) of those making over $384,860. They are even unwilling to spare everyone making less that one million dollars any increased taxes and simply raise taxes by 4.6 percent on the $1 million and first dollar (and all those dollars earned above $1,000,001 of the nation’s multimillionaires and billionaires. (I say multimillionaires because anyone with a net worth of a few million dollars is not making an annual income of over one million dollars.)

Given that unwillingness to raise taxes by less than a nickel on every dollar earned over $1 million, I find it unfathomable that a more conservative Congress, in two years, in an election year, will increase the payroll tax by 2 percent on the very first dollar, and every other dollar up to the cap, earned by virtually every single worker in the country. Consequently, I think we have to assume that the payroll tax holiday will be extended beyond the two years the president is proposing and quite likely could become permanent....

A permanent two percent cut in Social Security contributions doubles the 75 year projected shortfall.... The pressure to cut Social Security in a slow, gradual way for younger workers will be enormous. Progressives will not want to cut benefits for the low-income – and they shouldn’t be cut; they should be increased. Despite the fact that there are few beneficiaries who do not desperately need their Social Security – 2/3rds of the elderly and 70 percent of people receiving disability benefits rely on Social Security for half or more of their income and most people think even more people will be dependent on it in the future – nonetheless, means-testing Social Security will become a viable option.... Changing the benefit formula in the manner proposed by a majority of the Catfood Commission, will appear attractive, even though it would gradually and inexorably eviscerate the benefits of the middle class, and with it, their support for the program.
