Dear Representative,
I am writing regarding Social Security and Medicare. I am wondering how Congress can justify cutting benefits to people who are currently receiving Social Security and Medicare by 2032. Social Security is funded by employees and employers every month. How can anyone rationalize calling it an entitlement? SS is not a privilege, we paid for it and I pay for Medicare out of my Social Security benefits.
I have read that some leaders have suggested that the cap on taxable income be raised in order to bring in more dollars. Others have said we should continue to raise the retirement age. But politicians have been borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund since Vietnam and they never pay back these “loans.” If the trillions of dollars were paid back, people needing SS and Medicare wouldn’t have anything to worry about.
Why is it we have billions of dollars to throw at futile wars or demolishing wings in the White House or useless downgrades to national monuments, but when it comes to caring for United States citizens, we are fighting about necessities? I should not have to say this to you. You should already know that people who have worked hard and paid into Social Security and need their money, should have it. But here we are; Please fight for me and my fellow United States citizens who need our Social Security checks and Medicare. We worked and we paid for it. Now it’s up to you to make sure we get it.
Sincerely,
Summer D Clemenson
