>> Chris,
>>
>> Don't you remember when President G.W. Bush (Or Baby Blue, as I like
>> to call
>> him) traveled around America in early 2005 while advocating that
>> Social Security should be Privatized, either partially or completely?
>> The Republican party has been for years dreaming of stealing the two
>> trillion dollars in the SS trust fund and handing it to Wall Street
>> who will invest it in the riskiest craziest derivatives they can
>> invent. Doesn't anyone remember the banking collapse of 2008?
>>
>> So what do you think will happen to Social Security in the long term
>> if that
>> happens? Or isn't it obvious? Also, whenever any republican politician
>> has been asked over the last decade if the republicans would consider
>> giving governmental garantees to the beneficiaries of privatized
>> personalized Social Security accounts, they have ALL WITHOUT EXEMPTION
>> said ABSOLUTELY NO. So what does that mean? Well it is very clear.
>> They, the Republicans, want to use our Social Security FICA insurance
>> which we paid for, invest it in toilet paper investments, milk those
>> investments for all they can, and then throw us under the bus when
>> those "investments" inevitably go bust.
>> And if those aren't convincing enough reasons why we shouldn't talk
>> to republicans on this issue, then I don't know what reasons would be.
>>
>> Also, I also wanted to clarify something. I didn't say that the
>> failure to negotiate a deal on the fiscal cliff by January 1st would
>> automatically effect anyone's social security check now. I think
>> maybe my previous posting was a little misunderstood.
>>
>> I was trying to explain that for the last three days, President and
>> House Minority leader Nancy Palosi have both said that they are
>> willing to cut the COLA Cost of Living Adjustment on Social Security
>> beneficiaries by 0.3 percent. I know this doesn't sound like much,
>> but it is a terribly frightening prospect for several reasons.
>>
>> 1( It would be the first time since the creation of Social Security
>> that direct monthly benefits would have been cut AT ALL.
>>
>> 2) this minimum sounding cut is also accumulative. In about 10 years
>> or less, every SSDI recipient will be receiving about an average of
>> $1000.00 less annually. Can any of us afford that? I know I can't.
>> So this is a real cut, and not some kind of Consumer Pricing Index
>> readjustment as many are now claiming.
>>
>> And 3) This first historic cut to Social Security benefits will open
>> the DOOR WIDE OPEN to restricting and maybe privatizing Social
>> Security which would eventually doom the entire trust fund. And if
>> you need proof of that, then study what has happened to retirement
>> benefit programs in Latin American countries whenever those countries
>> have privatized or been forced to privatize their retirement benefit
>> programs. This craziness has all been tried before to desasterous
>> effects.
>>
>> Of course, no one's checks will disappear immediately, but the long
>> term damage to Social Security may or probably will become
>> UNREPAIRABLE! So that is why we should worry about how these fiscal
>> cliff negotiations are going and exactly what the final shape of any
>> deal looks like. It isn't just our long term future that's at stake,
>> but what about when our kids retire or God forbid become disabled like
>> us?
>>
>> Finally, I myself am not trying to scare anyone. Besides, I think the
>> above facts are scary enough.
>>
>> Sincerely, Robert Ortiz
