"Chained CPI": How much will this cut cost YOU lose if it's implemented? Find out here:

http://action.aarp.org/site/PageNavigator/SocialSecurityCalculator.html

THEN, email your alleged "representatives" and tell them "NO Chained CPI" - this is a vicious cut in retirement benefits to those who need them most and who paid into the system all their lives.

Lift or remove the "cap" above which no one pays SS tax or raise the SS tax but NO "Chained CPI". There is NO REASON for this cut in benefits except the greed of wealthy and big corps who don't want to pay the taxes.
