No Social Security increase in 2016 at substantial cost to most older adults

[turbinetree]

13. I have been MEANS TESTED...................

my entire working life and I am getting ready shortly to get medicare (65), and it will not cover my heart issues entirely, which are pretty bad, and, from which I was told would lower my health costs going on Medicare, and when I get to the age to collect social security ----------it will in some aspects, but in today's reality of greed----------nope, and a republican Congress and DINO'S they just don't care all they want is power.
I have seen the republicans with help from DINO's instead of it being a 90/10 medicare program under Reagan having it move to a 80/20 to a 70/30 program just like in some business around this country.
And now the retiring of many millions off of us and those still the the proverbial pipeline of employment----------we, are again, being MEANS TESTED-------------I want to know why

Why are those making over $118,500.01 not paying into the systems.

I know why, it was and always has been about greed, and when a program was specifically set up for the elderly to help and them / us have a program, and have it being cut / gut out of the collective to try and privatize it all to a over all market, and prevent it to help drive down those costs, and then getting tweaked to change it into a for-profit entity, without those adjustments like COLA --------------------that is wrong.
We use to get COLA increases in pay to offset inflation from 1975 forward, even with the ups or downs in market costs, but they were there to offset the prices for the poor and the retiree (because of social security a fixed income), not now-----it's fend for yourself, they (corporation /oligarchy) got what they wanted----------------that was the bottom line your service is now a hindrance
