age people take their benefits. rising medicare premiums will consume a greater portion of retiree's social security income. on top of that, other sources of secure retirement are declining and the recession has made things worse. this adds up to a compelling case for protecting and strengthening social security benefits, yet there are a number of proposals out there that would cut social security benefits, even for current retirees. i was pleased to hear your statement about the bipartisan support for protecting those people. for example, switching to the change cpi for calculating cost-of-living adjustment in social security would cut benefits for current beneficiaries and produce bigger cuts with every year of benefit receipt. this change would particularly hit women, because they live longer than men, are more reliant on social security, and already it much greater risk of poverty as they age. those who say that cut will not hurt or not trying to live on social security. a cut of $56 a month represents the loss
