Subject: Social Security and Medicare Cuts? NO! (And what you can do about it.)
The following sponsored message from Congressman Alan Grayson has been sent to you via Mother Jones. |
Dear Friend, | |
In 2008, President Barack Obama pledged he wouldn't cut Social Security benefits, or Social Security cost-of-living increases. On Wednesday, he released a budget that would do exactly that. Cutting cost-of-living increases will hurt seniors, veterans, and the disabled. Independent studies show that the current cost-of-living adjustment already is too low; this would drive it even lower. This is a terrible idea. If we wanted it, we would have voted for Mitt Romney instead of Barack Obama in 2012. | |
There is no reason for doing this. None. The Social Security Trust Fund has over $1,800,000,000,000 in it, and Social Security does not contribute one penny to the federal deficit. Step One is to make our army grow. So far, over two million of us have signed our "No Cuts" petition. 34 members of Congress have signed on. But we need more. Over the course of this week, I'm going to be talking to the media about this scheme to rip us off. I'll be working with my colleagues in Congress to deliver this message to the White House: "Hands off our Social Security and Medicare!" And I'll be offering suggestions for what you can do to have an impact. I'll be your voice. Forward it to your email list. The future you save may be your own. Courage, Congressman Alan Grayson |
