Re: Big Cuts in Medicare and Medicaid Coming
*******
*** * Myself, a recipient of Social Security, having paid into this program some 46-Years from my honest labors, some years with earnings beyond the maximum subject to the FICA Tax, Have THIS news to report: Just received a notice today that there will be NO COLA increase in 2010 for Social Security. (COLA = Cost Of Living Adjustment). This is the FIRST TIME EVER that the Social Security will NOT be adjusted for the rising Cost Of Living. The "Downhill Slide" is getting underway now. With the MONEY becoming worthless at the same time, whatever savings, IRAs, 401k, Stock Funds, or investments: We The People are being Crushed. Next stop Destitution, followed by Oblivion. I don't see ANY lifelines or Life-Boats out there while this ship sinks. * *** ******* Last edited by J_rod7; 06-09-2009 at 01:54 AM. |

Tell that to disabled people who can't even move around easily.
Well, I hope the Constitutionalists on here are happy. They finally got their wish, which means more people out on the streets, more crime and more despair thanks to cuts in social programs. I don't need to watch some stupid propaganda piece to know that the government is full of ****. |

Re: Big Cuts in Medicare and Medicaid Coming
While COLA is being denied to Social Security you will be glad to know that your elected officials will still have their government pensions indexed to reflect the cost of living increase . Those in office should be the first to step up and help those that elected them not cut them off . Those on welfare or food stamps are going to be hurting soon as those programs go to the axe. It would be wise to find a book telling you what plants and things are edible and healthy so those that need it will have an option

No Social Security COLA Posted by Jesse Benton on 10/15/09 2:26 PM It's official - there will be no Social Security COLA through 2012- and I don't mean an unsatisfying beveage to wash down your government cheese. Quote:
Social Security is going broke, and fast. Meanwhile, Congress and the Obama Administration continue to raid the trust fund to mask just how horrific our real deficit is. We need to come to our senses, stop treating the trust like a slush fund and let young people opt of social security before this mountain of irresponsibility crushes us for good.

Defaulted Loans May Haunt Seniors
by Ellen E. Schultz Monday, March 8, 2010 A little–noticed law could soon result in smaller Social Security checks for hundreds of thousands of the elderly and disabled who owe the U.S. money from defaulted loans and other debts more than a decade old. Social Security benefits are off–limits to creditors, such as credit–card companies and banks. But the U.S. can collect debts to federal agencies by "offsetting," or withholding Social Security and disability payments. Continues: http://finance.yahoo.com/retirement/...etire-planning |
