This is NOT RIGHT! Cutting these programs and Social Security to the disabled and the elderly is WRONG! I, as well as all these other people, have paid or someone they are related too has paid into Social Security as well as their employers. I have worked hard all my life and all the others who receive Social Security have too. People can't help it if they become disabled or are born that way. To reduce or take away these benefits is cruel and very heartless. I would like to see anyone in Congress and the Senate try to live on only Social Security. There are so many people who are homeless, who are going hungry and can't afford their medication, basic necessities and other things they truly need. Taxpayers didn't make the mess this country is in. Those in office did! Why should millions of people have to suffer because of others mistakes. The government seems to care more about helping other countries when they can't even take care of their own people. That is wrong. I'm not saying that I don't care about other countries but American's should come first. The rich need to pay their fair share of taxes and not be able to use all these loopholes. Stop putting the burden of taxation on the middle class. Stop wasting money on ridiculous experiments and projects that don't need to be studied. Also go after those that fraud and abuse the Government's money and resources. I know that life is not fair, but those who live high off the hog (the Government) need to stop. Congress and the Senate, PLEASE take your blinders off and see what is really the problem and what is going on! This is supposed to be a Democratic Society, but that right is being taken away more and more over the years. We are human beings the same as you, so please treat us like you want to be treated!Aug 30th, 2015Someone from Deerfield Beach, FL signed.

Should cut their pay and retirement, should not be a full time career. Should have to retire on Social Security like the rest of us. Then maybe the SS trust fund would get repayedREPORT COMMENTS

Every politician in Washington should have their pay halved or even quartered, they should not be able to vote for their own pay raises, and every cent should go to the debt they put the nation in! This country was not meant to have career politicians, they were meant to come out when called and then go back to their jobs!REPORT COMMENTS

Because elected officials lack empathy, this is an opportunity to teach them empathy. This is achieved by cutting their pay and benefits to the average pay rate in their state and same benefits as citizens - Medicare and SS. Voila - empathy for the people and concern for these programs.REPORT COMMENTS

Members of Congress are overpaid and get too many perks. This needs to end post haste. Also, the budgets for their offices should be re-examined as they seem excessive to me.REPORT COMMENTS
