SAY NO TO "CHAINED CPI" SOCIAL SECURITY PAYOUTS

In an effort to explain that there is no problem with social security I've written numerous times to our local paper and on my blog about the topic. Incredibly, and in spite of over $2.7 trillion in surpluses in our national social security account, President Obama is thinking of handing the Republicans a political gift by offering to unilaterally lower social security payouts - in exchange for nothing. The worst part is that the GOP didn't even ask for the measure.

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich explains President Obama's unsolicited proposal:


If you think linking future social security payouts to a "chained CPI" is nuts click sign this petition. I already did.
