There will be no changes for anyone who is already on SS, or for anyone due to go on SS during the next 10 years.

Cathie, it's sort of naive to assume that the Pres. can somehow wave a magic wand and suddenly our problems are all going to be magically fixed. I was infuriated when Mitch McConnell got up on his high horse and said that the top priority of the Republicans was to see that Obama was a one term president. This comment was probably two years ago or more. Shouldn't he have been saying that the top priority was jobs and the economy? Everything - EVERYTHING that Obama proposed was rejected out of hand by the congress since then. The end result of this horrendous obstructionism has been that we are in gridlock, and it sickens me that all the pols (yes - especially the Republicans) don't give a #$% about the country, rather only about their ideology and reelection. Please, open your eyes a little bit.

That obstructionism is being practiced in the Senate, as well. Here's a list of all the bills passed in the House that the Senate will not vote on.
AND the Senate hasn't passed a budget bill in THREE YEARS. Explain that, please.
The President CAN wave his magic wand, and tell Harry Reid to get to voting. But he won't, because he's all about HIS ideology and reelection.
So let's not pretend that both sides aren't playing the same game.
Please open YOUR eyes a little bit.

Oh, I fully agree that it's both sides. I have long been an independent, and (proudly) have never donated a nickel to any political party. Still, once Obama was elected it was in the country's best interest to compromise on the issues. Remember when politics was considered the art of compromise? Boehner & Obama came close but failed because Boehner couldn't get his people to agree to anything that wasn't in goosestep with their ideology. So I do put substantially more of the blame on the Republicans. So far as the senate is concerned I think that Reid is a horror, and his recent comments about Romney not paying taxes for 10 years as being despicable.

You can blame the Rep's for that one issue, but there are dozens of other bills that WERE compromised on in the House, but can't get a simple vote in the Senate.
Comparing Boehner's inability to get his people to agree with Reid's flat refusal to LET his people vote is ridiculous.
