Increase benefits for Social Security
I am writing about Social Security benefit and that there will be no raises for two years. That is wrong.
I am in a wheelchair and disabled. I depend on the raise every year to get by on. I have to pay bills, rent and buy groceries. There are elderly and disabled persons on fixed budgets trying to get by every month. This will hurt a lot of decent people.
Right now, Obama and family are on vacation living it up. I wish they could be in our place and see how it feels. I feel the president and government need no raises in Jan. 2010 - they already make too much a year.
