Every time there's a problem, the solution always seems to be, screw the poor. And now, President Obama seems ready to let that happen again in his debt negotiations with Boehner. This time it's the elderly poor who will suffer by reducing the index by which Social Security keeps up with inflation. Who will be harmed most by this? The folks who depend on social security exclusively or almost exclusively for their retirement income - the poor. There are so many other ways to save the same amount of money, even within social security. For example, why not cut off social security benefits to those with incomes over a certain level. Do wealthy seniors really need to keep receiving social security while poor seniors keep losing ground to inflation? This proposal is truly heartless and it will be very sad if Democrats go along.
