Talks: Inflation change could cut Social Security

WASHINGTON (AP) — Once considered untouchable, Social Security is now in play in the debt-ceiling negotiations. And that could mean higher income taxes for many U.S. families in addition to shaved benefits for tens of millions of retirees as they age.

Letter to the editor:Hoeven, Berg voted to cut Medicare, Social Security

During a radio ad that began airing on Aug. 30, 2010, Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said “In the Senate, I’ll work hard to protect Social Security and Medicare to make sure these programs are there when you need them.” This self-proclaimed defender of seniors has now lost all credibility five months into his tenure as a U.S. senator when he voted in favor of the Medicare-ending Ryan Plan.

Letter to the editor: Berg’s votes show he is not helping poor, middle class

When it was pointed out last year that, as a state legislator, Rick Berg voted to end Social Security as we know it, not many people believed it. It was the heat of a nasty campaign and Berg’s vote really didn’t mean much since he was only a state legislator when he cast it.

Witt: Social Security will not go broke

Social Security will not go broke, according to Janet Witt, grassroots manager for the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. In fact, its surpluses have been used to mask the true size of federal debt.

Social Security stopping mailed earning statements

WASHINGTON (AP) — Those yearly statements that Social Security mails out — here's what you'd get if you retired at 62, at 66, at 70 — will soon stop arriving in workers’ mailboxes. It's an effort to save money and steer more people to the agency's website.

Final passage expected on tax bill

WASHINGTON — Acting with uncommon speed, Congress moved toward final passage Thursday night of sweeping, bipartisan legislation to avoid a Jan. 1 spike in income taxes for millions and renew jobless benefits for victims of the worst recession in 80 years. The measure also will cut Social Security taxes for nearly every wage-earner and pump billions of dollars into the still-sluggish economy.

Social Security advocates fear payroll tax cut

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's plan to cut payroll taxes for a year would provide big savings for many workers, but makes Social Security advocates nervous that it could jeopardize the retirement program's finances.

Report: Raising retirement age hurts poor

WASHINGTON — Raising the retirement age for Social Security would disproportionately hurt low-income workers and minorities, and increase disability claims by older people unable to work, government auditors told Congress. The projected spike in disability claims could harm Social Security’s finances because disability benefits typically are higher than early retirement payments, the Government Accountability Office concluded.

House to vote on bonus payment for Social Security

WASHINGTON — The House will vote in November to provide $250 payments to Social Security recipients to make up for the lack of a cost-of-living increase for next year, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. The Social Security Administration is expected to announce Friday that more than 58 million retirees and disabled Americans will go a second consecutive year without an increase in benefits.

Senior citizens brace for freeze on Social Security

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Seniors prepared to cut back on everything from food to charitable donations to whiskey as word spread Monday that they will have to wait until at least 2012 to see their Social Security checks increase. The government is expected to announce this week that more than 58 million Social Security recipients will go through a second straight year without an increase in monthly benefits. This year was the first without an increase since automatic adjustments for inflation started in 1975.

Letter to the editor: Don’t raise taxes just to save Social Security

I see that Sen. Tracy Potter, D-Bismarck, is talking about raising taxes to save Social Security. The worst thing anyone can do in this economy is to raise any taxes. We know government can’t get our economy moving. They tried with the so-called stimulus package that only stimulated unemployment.

Letter to the editor: Social Security’s critics dishonest about its stability

While politicians spar over extending Bush-era tax breaks for the super-wealthy, another argument is under way in Washington and it has the power to devastate middle-income America. Using the national deficit for justification, conservative lawmakers now claim we need to roll back Social Security benefits and up the retirement age to bring federal spending under control. They argue the system is nearly broke and requires massive infusions of cash to remain solvent. Some are even back to promoting privatization, despite the collapse of Wall Street that wiped out trillions in U.S. savings.
