(7,515 posts)it will only cost me about $3.00 a month in 2013 and the average recipient $4.00 a month. So no one will be reduced to eating dirt (cat food ain't cheap). Everyone seems to think that any changes made now can't be reversed, that's simply untrue. All these really horrible projections we see going out, 10, 20 and 30 years appear to be based on the maximum benefit and very few Americans get the maximum benefit. I think we are becoming hysterical to go good purpose and being diverted from what is the real problem with Social Security...wages are too low.
Having said that, I have already written to the WH pointing out that an overwhelming majority of those 65 and over voted for Mitt Romney, and asked if Obama wants to confirm they were correct in doing so?
