I'm trying my hardest to believe that the future cuts being made regarding Americans needing to tighten up their belts and start to make the big sacrifice for the good of the country does not include a reduction in my pittance of a social security check.
So far I have deluded myself into believing that no one is actually considering reducing the checks to people that are receiving them. No, they're not getting a cost of living increase anytime soon, but all this talk about cutting SS and Medicare and Medicaid are for future recipients and won't be having any impact on me.
Tonight I watched TV and heard some sound bites that implied that Obama was not going to initiate the budget cuts to include SS Medicare and Medicaid, however he was not going to stop Republicans from starting up the debate. So I am here, looking for anyone with real information that will finally cause me to "wake up" to some reality of what is going on and whether we old people should start stocking up on cat food and or looking for wooden rafts to set ourselves out on the open seas to die with dignity.
I am ready to hear the truth about what is to become of my check and my healthcare.
Anybody out there know?
