• •        Tuesday, 13 January 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - This las week John (he da Bones") Boehner (R-Four dead in Ohio) was re-elected House Speaker with the most party votes against in history in the wake of his having appeared visibly drunk with bright red face that no longer can be hidden with Coppertone at several recent public appearances including one last month when barely able to speak he forgot what the (non-existent) Republican upcoming agenda was and mumbled "Merry Christmas" to the assembled press before lurching off the stage presumably to rush back to his House office and have a few snorts before engaging in his new rumored habit of snorting solvents.
  • •        One of the first order of business of the newly seated Republican house and its speaker Boehner (who has used his position to amass a  $6 million "net worth" in bribes rumored to be kept in the Cayman Islands to help further reduce his personal tax bill) and his idiot crew of "Tea Partiers" who even Boehner cannot stomach was to launch a "backdoor" assault on Social Security disability benefits now that they have theirs wasting no time in launching an attack immediately on the disabled and those most defenseless who compared to Boehner and his "ship of fools" live constantly at the brink of poverty.
    • •        Meanwhile Republican Senators in a coordinated attempt to kill the poor have "pledged" that their first order of business will be to eliminate food stamps which are widely used to among other things buy milk to keep newborns and the youngest and most helpless millions of Americans living in poverty from starvation.
      • •        CREDO Action asks readers who are so inclined to sign the Petition to the Republican House to cease their assault on Social Security disability benefits which if allowed to succeed will expand to 
        cut off Social Security benefits for all while they line their and their rich owners such as the Koch Brothers with the plunder of yet more tax breaks and outright giveaways to the Nation's richest and least deserving.

To Ninth Amendment Readers

Tell Speaker Boehner and House Republicans: No cuts to Social Security benefits. Petition to Speaker Boehner and House Republicans:  "Social Security should be expanded, not cut. Don’t push through any cuts to Social Security benefits, which tens of millions of Americans rely on every day." Add your name: Dear Martin, On Tuesday, the first day Congress was in session this year, John Boehner and House Republicans launched a back-door attack on Social Security through a sinister rule change that sets the stage for drastic cuts to benefits.1 The rule change House Republicans pushed through paves the way for a sudden 19% cut in Social Security Disability Insurance benefits next year – and Republicans are planning to use it as leverage to force broader and deeper cuts to all Social Security benefits. We need to fight back now to stop Republicans from slashing our Social Security benefits. Sign the petition: Stop House Republicans from cutting Social Security benefits. Click here to sign the petition. As Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote in response to the rule change, “the GOP is inventing a Social Security crisis that will threaten benefits for millions and put our most vulnerable at risk.”3 The arcane rule change in question stops the House of Representatives from reallocating Social Security payroll tax income from the old-age program to the disability program. This type of routine reallocation, which is supported by neutral experts like the National Academy of Social Insurance and the American Bar Association, has taken place 11 times in the past without controversy.3 But now Republicans are using it to hold Social Security hostage in a craven attempt to force radical benefit cuts that would be disastrous for tens of millions of Americans who rely on Social Security benefits. Our Social Security system shows that smart, effective government can improve millions of people’s lives – and it serves as a damning refutation of the Tea Party’s extreme anti-government ideology. And if Republicans succeed in destroying Social Security, Americans will be forced to stake our retirement security on risky investments with Wall Street brokers, who stand to make a killing handling our money. Social Security should be strengthened and expanded, not cut. But Republicans are longstanding opponents of the program, and they have waged an unrelenting, decades-long assault to destroy, defund or privatize it. We need to fight back now to stop Republicans from slashing Social Security benefits. Tell John Boehner and House Republicans: No cuts to Social Security benefits. Click here to sign the petition. Thanks for fighting to stop Republicans' latest attack on Social Security.
