You are right and we can only hope that that is the case.This may open the eyes of a lot more congressmen and more may get on board....
Nice lead, all should follow up on it. Hoffa/Hall? They were rowing the boat the other direction before this election came along. Rat bastards.IBT asking for signatures to get the rest of Congress involved.

Once the dust settles where is the money going to come from to shore up the fund to the levels that it should pay? No where! Republicans hate unions, especially us, Teamsters.The pie is only one size, the pie needs to be larger, not make one slice of the pie larger while the others are made smaller. Many people have been retired for a long time and have collected the full amount. There is not much left for my husband and I now that we are approaching retirement. Nothing good here.....same old thing that they've been doing. Continue to pay retirees as much as possible while the rest of us can work until we fall over and collect nothing.
Has nothing to do with Repubs vs Dems. Has to do with Math. The USA is broke, and so is our fund. Mine will be cut (supposedly only by half) when I plan to retire. It probably won't be there at all, in reality.Once the dust settles where is the money going to come from to shore up the fund to the levels that it should pay? No where!

If no cuts, a now 20 year 45 yr old will draw nothing for 40 yrs when he can retire at 65.I don't think the fund is broke but badly bent but I think you posted you have 81/2 years before you want to draw that gives you time to make finincial plans not get a letter in the mail saying you are going to be cut 60% in a matter of months..
Most of the people getting cut are over 65 pretty much living month to month and are not afforded the luxury of making other financial plans..
I filled that out and one congressman responded thanking me and assuring me that he was doing all he could to keep teachers' classrooms fully funded.IBT asking for signatures to get the rest of Congress involved.

Do not know how this will play out yet but "50%" will leave most no better off than 0....If no cuts, a now 20 year 45 yr old will draw nothing for 40 yrs when he can retire at 65.
I'm almost 62, plan to go at 70. Like you, too late to make it up. So I'm not in favor of you getting. 100% and me getting zero. Teamsters always stood for equality. Cut Everyone 50% so we all get something.
I have relatives thst survive on minimum social security and nothing else. Didn't say it's wonderful. I can't imagine anyone responsible retiring before their debts were paid. Its math. CSPF promised twice as much as they can deliver. One group wants another group to get slashed. Make it equal to allDo not know how this will play out yet but "50%" will leave most no better off than 0....
Ya I had a Grand Father that once a month got surplus Beans and Peanut Butter too. I would never imply he lived on that alone. Family and friends helped...different time probably never see it again in this day where "Math" is king. Debts being paid is a long way from no problems and I personally doubt very few were irresponsible when they retired. So no matter what lets cut everyone to poverty status to guarantee those 8, 10, 20 years from now they will get a stipend I seriously doubt they can live on. Makes no sense in the age of broken promises to me. I prefer to believe there are other alternatives and will not wish anybody get slashed.I have relatives thst survive on minimum social security and nothing else. Didn't say it's wonderful.

I wish no one cut either. I live in reality. Wait until SSI is slashed too. About when I retire. Math unfortunately, is a constant.Ya I had a Grand Father that once a month got surplus Beans and Peanut Butter too. I would never imply he lived on that alone.
