The debates continue on the so-called ‘fiscal cliff’. Members of Congress recently met for a press conference to discuss the Chained CPI and how it’s a cut to Social Security.
Additionally, National Committee’s Rally Corps was there to let Congress know to keep their hands off Social Security!
1. Chained CPI is a significant benefit cut that compounds over time, hitting late old-age beneficiaries and the long-time disabled hardest. For a worker with average earnings retiring at age 65 in 2015, chained CPI would cut benefits $653 a year (3.7 percent) at age 75, $1,139 a year (6.5 percent) at age 85 and $1,611 a year (9.2 percent) at age 95.
Social Security needs to be off the table during these fiscal cliff debates. The Chained CPI is a CUT to Social Security.

That’s a wrap!
We had a great petition delivery event at Frisbie Senior Center in Des Plaines, Illinois. Representative’s Jan Schakowsky, Bill Foster, and Tammy Duckworth was present to say a few words of support for preserving Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Congresswoman Donna Edwards speaks at a press conference about the Chained CPI and how it cuts Social Security benefits for everyone.
The ‘who’ and 'what’? Who does this Chained CPI affect? Everyone. What does it do? Cut Social Security benefits for everyone.
There are several alternatives to cut the deficit rather than using the Chained CPI. Seniors, veterans, and middle-class rely on Social Security as a source of their income and can’t afford any cuts.
