"Chained CPI" has been put on the table in the Fiscal Cliff Negotiations as a "compromise" Pres. Obama is offering to get certain things from the GOP. It is a different way of calculating Seniors cost of living increases that will LOWER our benefits as time goes by. Already in 2013, if in effect, our increase would be 1.4% instead of 1.7%. It compounds itself and gets worse and worse as time goes on. PLEASE tell President Obama to take CHAINED CPI "totally" OUT of the Fiscal Cliff deal. If will HURT Seniors TOO MUCH! We'd rather go over the cliff and let the top 2% pay their fair share and THEN fix the rest when the lame duck session is over.
