Chained CPI (Consumer Price Index) is an assault against Social Security Benefits American EARNED!

Why is it the working people of this country are never, never appreciated until they die a natural death?

What is Chained CPI (Consumer Price Index)? (click here)
...Republicans are proposing moving to a new formula, “chained CPI” that would slow the growth of payments to Social Security recipients. President Obama, in the latest round of negotiations, has signaled that he could agree to a move to the chained CPI.
Understanding the proposed changes to the benefits requires understanding exactly what the CPI is....

It is a way of getting rid of SSI, that is what it is.

Chained CPI ERODES the hard earned retirement benefit called Social Security. It dishonors the work Americans performed within the USA economy for a majority of their lives.

It does not strengthen SSI, it makes it disappear right before your eyes.

Chained CPI is another Plutocratic dreamscape and needs to be considered an attack against the Middle Class and the strong base of the American economy.

It is complete foolishness to even consider it seriously. This is another campaign uptick for Speaker Boner's Speakership.
