    This is ridiculous. Salary, benefits, pensions should be cut until every penny paid back to SSI and in the future only awarded with a federal vote. This is how it is managed in states. No individual on the planet can vote themselves raises in pay and benefits except our federally elected officials. In 2014 they voted to reduce pensions for multi holder unions....they should have voted the same cut for themselves. Decreases in benefits should come automatically until we have a balanced budget.

    It's not right! The average American income has not increased while the cost of living has skyrocketed!!! We can't afford to care for our teeth, build savings or take a weeks vacation never mind a month!

    Let's make public which politicians actually favor this and while we're at it let's see who would supplement these politicians through lobbyists.

    If Congress does not work they should be fired. The same goes for the Senate. It is disgusting the way they get raises every year and then Social Security benefits stay the same.

    Taxpayers are paying their salaries while they make millions dollars and they want hard working citizens live on a $1400 monthly.

    After everything the military has done for this country it's ridiculous to cut pensions.

    Budget cuts should include members of Congress and Senate and their staff. No free healthcare, they should pay like everyone else. Let those that want to cut entitlements experience firsthand those cuts.

    None of them are worth the salary or perks they get. They could care less about the American people. I don't see them taking any cuts at all!!! Hypocrites

    Every adult who receives Social Security Retirement Benefits each month, and who now finds that he or she will NOT be receiving a Cost of Living increase for the next three years...must vote their US Representative out of Office should he or she have voted affirmative to freeze such a Social Security Retirement Benefit. Yes vote the bums our of office!

    no more freebies to our elected officials... they should have to "pay their own way" like the rest of us do! No more free lunches and all the "perks" they get.. If these cuts to SSDI go through I will probably loose my home! I am not getting a cost of living raise next year why should they!.... WAKE UP!

    I have said for years that they should pay for their own retirement and medical. They make more than 90% of Americans. They voted in a process they automatically gives them a raise and they're the only ones that can remove it. They also are the most incompetent government in my life time!
