Obama knows what he's doing! Watch what Fineman says

44. And I am one of those seniors on SS.

I had to take early SS because both of us lost our jobs and couldn't get find jobs, due to our ages of 62 & 63! We're now almost 67 and rely on our early benefits, our IRA and a small inheritance. We are still well under the limit to be taxed. Those making lower incomes like us, will not be affected by the CCPI. So we are not living the high life. We've always worked hard and lived modestly. I realize there are many worse off than us, but that isn't what this is about.

But SS was never meant to be the sole income. And it's only the right's view that it's too much. Not Obama's. That is what Fineman was saying.

The proposed CCPI isn't going to put people out of their homes even in 10 years, with the small amount projected. Between the HCA, Medicare and other type pensions (IRA, etc), will compensate for any cuts, if small enough. Most seniors will not be in poverty.

Instead of worrying so much about those on SS and saying Obama is not doing enough liberal things, let's raise the roof about all the children starving today! With all the people out of work, because congress won't even vote on Obama's job plan or a stimulus, is where we need to put our energies towards. He has had to fight for every damned cent and program for us and from that record, I don't doubt him.
I believe he still has our best interests at heart, despite how he's going about it. It's definitely confusing, but we''l know soon enough the reasons.
