Don't cut medicare or social security. [View all]

Both of my grandparents passed away this year. They were 98 and 99. They outlived their retirement savings. They needed social security and medicare, just to survive and live out their lives. I can't imagine them living without it. I know there are many others like them.

And with the decreasing wages in relation to cost of living nationally, I know many people are not able to pump up their retirement accounts like they should.

Don't cut medicare or social security. Please.

That's all I have to say.
