Alliance for Retired Americans anti-Social Security cut petition.
President Obama is set to include a major Social Security benefit cut in his budget that will be released on Wednesday. The chained CPI will cut the cost of living adjustment (COLA) for current and future retirees.
I just took action with the Alliance for Retired Americans and told President Obama Hands Off My Social Security! Will you join me?

The so-called chained CPI is based on an economic theory that goes something like this: Your doctor tells you that you need triple heart by-pass surgery. You will opt for the cheaper alternative, a double by-pass. Im not making this up.
The chained CPI is a benefit cut, plain and simple. It will reduce cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for all current and future retirees.
Tell President Obama the chained CPI benefit cut is a bad deal for seniors.
