Dear Friend,

From what I read, in this particular plan there are no cuts to Social Security, Medicad, Medicare, or Veterans Benefits.

In the future, they might raise the age for social security and raise the amount that working people pay into it, but none of that has happened yet --- some things that they expect to work out in the later votes.

They do not want to take away money from people who are already getting checks. They prefer trimming here and there for FUTURE people getting checks.
