Seniors get disrespect from Obama
By Letters to the Editor/Gloucester County ...
It appears that senior citizens are having a harsh awakening about what the government is inflicting upon them.
The value of Social Security benefits is shrinking. About 50 million retired and disabled Americans receive Social Security.
The government claims there was no need for a 2010 cost-of-living increase in these benefits. Where do they obtain this misguided information? Everything is skyrocketing.
Medicare Part B premiums that most Social Security recipients pay are expected to rise, yet there was no cost-of-living increase.
Did you know the retirement nest egg of an entire generation is stashed away in Parkersburg, W. Va., where the Social Security Administration is expected to start cashing in $2.5 trillion worth of IOUs from the federal government?
Social Security previously collected more from payroll taxes each year than it paid out in benefits. But this year, there is a projected $29 billion shortfall.
The federal government has already spent the IOU money over the years on other programs. This money should belong to the people who invested into the system. Wouldn’t you call such stealing a federal offense?
Our country is overwhelmed. We took a bad slide when we allowed millions of illegal immigrants to invade and stay in this country. Our schools are overloaded. Who is paying the taxes if these immigrants are not?
I’m sure there are many seniors without health care or who could use more help to survive.
We need to rid this country of these illegal immigrants. Let them wait their turn to enter this country, as our ancestors did.
We are entirely too lenient with our laws. Our systems are drying up. That’s why all the states are going broke.
Our seniors don’t deserve the disrespect they have sustained from President Barack Obama. He can print trillions of dollars to bail out the banks and other corporations, but he can’t find the funds to give seniors a modest cost-of-living raise.
