I hope to not have to use SSI, but I'm not going to turn it down........

There are lots of other places to cut....and we should start there.

Now, the Cost of Living increases in SSI.......maybe those need to be adjusted, and change them so they are not tied to CPI.

Isn't SSI for the disabled?

If we go into Default and can't pay our debts they will stop paying Social Security to the retired people and that's going to be a screwed up mess that will really piss me off big time. You want to see a march on Washington full or retires then just let the deadline for the debt ceiling laps and see what happens.

I just retired this last February and am finally able to get back some of the money that the Feds took out of my pay checks over the last 40 years.

IMHO they better get moving on something and get the Government back in operation sooner rather than later.

Remember that if we go into default it not only affects Americans but the rest of the world economies. We won't be in good standing with everyone else and they won't lend us money. The world's other leaders are watching to see what we do.
