I contacted E. Warren for some insight on pending SSI proposals. Here is a copy of the info I received.

Dear ####,

Thank you for contacting me about the cost of living adjustment for Social Security and other federal programs.

On January 1, 2016, for just the third time since 1975, seniors and people with disabilities who receive Social Security did not get an annual cost of living adjustment. Millions of other Americans whose veterans' benefits or other monthly payments are pegged to Social Security's formula will also not have their benefits adjusted.

That's why I introduced the Seniors and Veterans Emergency Benefits Act (SAVE Benefits Act), which will give Social Security recipients – including individuals with disabilities, veterans, retired federal, state, and local government employees, and other retirees a one-time 3.9% payment in 2016 -- the same raise that America's top CEOs received last year. The bill is paid for entirely by closing a tax loophole that allows corporations to write off obscene executive bonuses as a business expense for "performance pay" -- a loophole that would generate so much revenue that we could give every senior this $581 check and still have money left over to extend the life of the Social Security trust fund.

Giving seniors a little help with their Social Security and stitching up corporate tax write-offs isn't just about economics; it's about our values. That's why I introduced the SAVE Benefits Act.

I appreciate your reaching out to me about this issue, and please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about issues of importance to you.

Sincerely,

<78852dc9e99cdca0701eb7a4664440a7.png>

I don't believe I could live with my conscious if I took money from a greedy capitalist executive and used it to buy an extra can of Science Diet each week.

WS - you shouldn't listen to Socialists, they foment trouble among the masses of the lower classes, como tu.
