Do not cut Social Security benefits by any means. Do not raise the eligibility age. Do not chain benefits payments to a lower, artificial cost-of-living index. Do not means-test Social Security; everyone who pays in should benefit, too.
Social Security is a separate fund and cutting payouts will not reduce the deficit. Take Social Security off the table for any budgetary, deficit-reduction or other fiscal considerations. We all hope to be senior citizens some day. Stand up for us now so we will always be secure.
