I called my congressman's office and told him that I thought that these cuts are insane. This is currently in the House. They mean to get their tax cut for the wealthy through no matter who they injure.
Stop them cold. Call your congressional representative today.

We knew it was coming.

The linked article makes no mention of cuts to Social Security.
As for Medicare:
Quote:
The budget also proposes major changes to Medicare, suggesting that the government program model itself on the Medicare Advantage program that offers better benefits to seniors who pay a premium. It suggests that traditional Medicare would still be an option.
But yes, the budget does call for cutting mandatory spending on social welfare programs while increasing military spending.
This bill may make it out of the House, but will probably die in the Senate.

I will be collecting social security benefits next year when I turn 70 so of course your post caught my eye.
For the life of me I can't see where they are planning to cut my social security benefit.
Otherwise it's a waste of time discussing it without all the facts.
