(3,888 posts)51. Thank you for sharing such a lovely Christmas story.
We will all need to be prepared to dig into our pockets to help seniors if Obama trades away any of the meager Social Security payments they have earned.
I am livid that he has proposed to do this as I have a Mother-in-Law who lives with me because her SS and her retirement check are not enough to allow her to live and a mother who also needs help. I can't imagine how most SS recipients will survive.
Thank you Obama for the worst possible Christmas message ever, that it is better to starve the old and defenseless than to tax the rich.
And thank you BeHereNow for reminding me that not everyone is so cruel.

My mom recently put me in my place on this issue. She was dropping me off at the bus station.

If everyone stopped to help people maybe the world would be a better place.
