Speaker Of the House Boehner is trying to destroy the elderly.the disabled and the poor. Laws that were passed by congress in 1990 makes it a criminal offence for the government to spend Social Security money. Boehner and Erix Cantor not only spend it to pay government expense, like wars ,foreign aid, pork. Now they want to cut your benefits take away your COST of living and raid the age, cut the amount of money every year you make.
Watch this video and learn the truth, Obama,Boehner and the other top Republicans have betrayed the elderly. the American seniors, They have lied and tried to deceive the American people so they could use the SS trust fund to pay the debt instead of raising tax for the wealthy!
SPEAKER BOEHNER AND REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO RAISE TAX TO PAY FOR THE GOVERNMENT DEBTS, INSTEAD THEY ARE ROBBING SOCIAL SECURITY TO KEEP FROM RAISING TAX ON THE WEALTHY AND BIG BUSINESS. SOON WE WILL NOT HAVE A TRUST FUND BECAUSE IT IS BEING USED BY THE GOVERNMENT INSTEAD OF RAISING TAX TO PAY FOR THIS NATION S EXPENCE. SENIORS TAKE ACTION WRITE AND CALL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND ALSO THE PRESIDENT, GO TO THE POLLS REGARDLESS OF YOUR PARTY AND REMOVE THE REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE FROM OFFICE, THEY ARE NOT REALLY REPUBLICANS, OPEN YOUR EYES.
This is criminal and the laws passed by congress are ignored, who can we get to enforce the laws, can we all chip in and sue Borhner and Cantor and any other Republicans that broke the law.
Obama said it might not be enough money to send out the SS checks. What will the elderly do, what will they eat, who will pay their rent and doctors deductible.
Social Security is not out of money! We have trillions in the trust fund, this is illegal to cut funds that belong to the Americans that paid in for their retirement, I guess government think we are to dumb to now it is illegal for them to spend social security money.
AARP betrayed the seniors, what are they doing to stop Boehner?
This is a video you have to watch, it proves that the people we elected are lying about Social Security and that is it not part of the budget problem. Social Security is paid for by the employee and the employer just like a 401k, the government does not pay one dime. It never will unless they destroy the FICA which supports and is a trust fund paid into by the employee and the employer. Corrupt politicians put SS in to the general fund so they could spend the surplus every month, it is not part of the budget like they try to make you believe.
Ask your self what kind of person would attack the elderly and the disabled of America, they know Social Security is not paid for by the government and not part of the budget.
The people we elected that are taking money from big business to destroy Social Security need to be replaced and never be allowed to run for public office again.
AARP Pivots on Social Security Benefit Cuts

Print Email Share Comments Text Size Washington – AARP, the powerful lobbying group for older Americans, was dropping its long-standing opposition to cutting Social Security benefits, a move that could rock Washington's debate over how to revamp the nation's entitlement programs, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The decision, which AARP has not discussed publicly, came after a wrenching debate inside the organization. In 2005, the last time Social Security was debated, AARP led the effort to kill President George W. Bush's plan for partial privatization. AARP now concludes that change is inevitable, and it wants to be at the table to try to minimize the pain.
"The ship was sailing. I wanted to be at the wheel when that happens," according to John Rother, AARP's longtime policy chief and a prime mover behind its change of heart.
The shift, which was vetted by AARP's board and is now the group's stance, could have a dramatic effect on the debate surrounding the future of the federal safety net, from pensions to health care, given the group's immense clout.
At the same time, AARP runs the risk of alienating both its liberal allies, who vowed to fight any benefit cuts, and its 37 million members, many of whom were deeply opposed to such a move.
To win them over, AARP was preparing coast-to-coast town hall meetings to explain the problem and possible solutions.
In an early sign of its new approach, AARP declined to join a coalition of about 300 unions, women's groups and liberal advocacy organizations created to fight Social Security benefit cuts.
"The coalition's role was to kind of anchor the left, and our role is going to be to actually get something done," Rother said.
Leaders of the coalition, dubbed Strengthen Social Security, agreed that AARP's views would carry weight in Washington but predicted that the group would see a bigger backlash from its members than it expects.
