Comments

'Chained' CPI would hurt current and future seniors.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Daily Kos are taking action to stop the measure to cut Social Security benefits known as "chained" CPI. 

Take a moment to sign their petition to the U.S. Senate :

To all members of the U.S. Senate: 

We strongly urge you to oppose all cuts to Social Security, including chained CPI. Do not attempt to make budget concessions on the backs of seniors and low-income Americans.
