From the White House transcript: Obama DID include Chained CPI in negotiations.

185. And just who

is the 'most vulnerable?' And more important, WHO decides which people are the 'most vulnerable?'

Do they weigh the person...only the skinny people? Those with no heat during the winter? The ones with 'certain' disabilities?

I think steam is starting to emanate from my ears. If this president is going to reduce the dollar amounts going to those on SS, why not just MEANS TEST IT. When the SS recipient files his/her income tax return, those with a lot of income will be taxed on that SS since they really don't need it.

Everyone earning over a specific amount...say $50,000 will be taxed on their SS. And anyone who is making over $200,000 is taxed 100% on their SS. And forget all about this 'chained cpi crap.'

I guess my idea doesn't PUNISH the elderly living on $12,000/yr. and those w/ disabilities enough.

I seriously am so pissed over him going after SS I could spit nails. I'll say it....he's not dishonest. He's a liar. And if he takes it back, I'll apologize.....but do not hold your breath.


In sum, f*ck this Cliff. And f*ck the rich. Already letting those making between $250,000 to $399,999 to keep their BUSH TAX CUTS. I think the pres thinks this is MIDDLE CLASS.
