Washington Cut Your Social Security Benefits </SPAN></B><SPAN

<DIV class=yiv1015720297Default><SPAN
style="COLOR: windowtext; FONT-SIZE: 13pt">Some in Washington are pushing a
budget proposal that would cut Social Security benefits by $112 billion over the
next 10 years. It’s called “chained CPI” - a proposal that would cut the yearly
cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Social Security, leaving seniors struggling
to keep up with the rising cost of utilities, health care and prescription
drugs. As seniors get older, it would only get worse because the cuts would
start now and get bigger every year. Washington should focus on finding
responsible ways to address our nation’s budget challenges, not cutting Social
Security to reduce the deficit. Americans have earned their benefits and they
deserve a separate conversation about how to protect Social Security for today’s
seniors and strengthen the program for future generations. </SPAN></DIV>

significant benefit cut, not some “technical change” as some in Washington would
like you to believe. </SPAN></DIV>

style="COLOR: windowtext; FONT-SIZE: 13pt">2. Cuts get deeper every year.
</SPAN></B><SPAN style="COLOR: windowtext; FONT-SIZE: 13pt">The chained CPI
benefit cut would start now and get bigger with every passing year, costing
seniors, veterans and our nation’s most vulnerable thousands of dollars over
their lifetimes. </SPAN></DIV>

style="COLOR: windowtext; FONT-SIZE: 13pt">3. It cuts benefits for today’s
seniors. </SPAN></B><SPAN style="COLOR: windowtext; FONT-SIZE: 13pt">Most
politicians promised during the 2012 campaign not to cut Social Security for
current seniors. The chained CPI would break that promise, cutting benefits that
today’s seniors have earned through a lifetime of hard work. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10.15pt" class=yiv1015720297Default><B><SPAN
style="COLOR: windowtext; FONT-SIZE: 13pt">4. It’s less accurate for seniors.
</SPAN></B><SPAN style="COLOR: windowtext; FONT-SIZE: 13pt">The chained CPI
assumes that when the cost of something you normally buy goes up, you will
substitute a lower-cost item. This theory falls short since many seniors and
veterans spend much of their money on basic goods like prescription drugs,
utilities and heath care – items that don’t have lower-cost substitutes.
