I am very much concerned by proposals to cut Medicare and Social Security benefits, as one of the measures to cut federal spending. Instead of cutting the benefits I have earned, the government could cut ineffective forms of spending and raise revenues by progressive taxation. Congress should cut health care costs without cutting current benefits. I paid into Medicare and Social Security all my working life. I expect to continue to receive these benefits now that I am retired.

And the young people who are now paying into Social Security expect to receive their full benefits when they retire.

As citizens of this country, we ask you, our elected officials to Congress, to continue to represent

our citizens' rights to a just and fair social security benefits.

London residents riot over cuts in social services

Frustrations in this impoverished neighborhood, as in many others in Britain, has mounted as the government's austerity budget has forced deep cuts in social services.

---The New York Times, Aug. 8, 2011

Last Sunday's riot in London is just the latest of violent demonstrations that has erupted across Britain over the last few weeks.

We don't want such violence to happen here, where the elderly will take to the streets with their canes and in wheelchairs. And we don't need to. We have our elected officials in Congress to fight for our cause. And we shall hold them accountable to that.

So fill out the petition to protect Medicare, and mail to your legislators in Washington. The form is at borromeofaith.blogspot.com. (Our previous posts are also in this website.)

It's not too late to protect Medicare

BORROMEO FAITH for Social Justice

It's not too late to send your petition.

Although President Obama has signed the bill raising the debt ceiling, the new law does not specify which government spending should be cut or agencies to be abolished.

The new law will leave it to a bipartisan super-committee to be created afterward.

So the threat to Medicare benefits and Social Security checks is as real as ever. We need to be vigilant more than ever to protect our entitlements.

It's never too late them know how we feel about ominous assault on Social Security checks we have already earned.

Go to previous post and print out the petition form, sign in and mail to your legislators in Congress.
