debate, he and members of Congress are on the verge of approving a
proposal that would cut projected Social Security benefits by changing the
current Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) formula to a stingier “chained”
Consumer Price Index (CPI). If that happens, seniors, retired veterans and
the disabled will see an immediate reduction in their
benefits!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
