The most beleaguered citizens in the United States are our senior citizens. Seniors are victims of government. It should not be so; but it is easy to explain. There is not one senior citizen member of Congress, who actually depends on Social Security to make ends meet. How is it then that they get to cast their magic wands annually to determine the cost of living increase due Seniors. Congressional inflation estimates unfortunately are nothing close to the reality of the real price increases Seniors actually pay every-day at supermarkets and clothing stores in America? The law on SSR has been distorted and Seniors need and deserve a massive adjustment. I If President Obama had another heart, some say it would be lonesome. For eight years, Seniors served as the former President's personal punching bag as he stubbornly refused to give Seniors a break. Obama even tried to reduce senior benefits with his chained CPI proposal. Then, he took more than $700 Billion from Medicare to fund his signature legislation known as Obamacare. Democrats, the ones who claim Republicans have no hearts are all Tin Men on the SSR issue and their main man for eight years, Barack H. Obama had no regard at all for Seniors. He claimed otherwise but worked to reduce SSR benefits for the duration of his eight years in office. Mike Huckabee was the first Republican to complain when he publicly accused "illegals, prostitutes, pimps, (and) drug dealers" of freeloading off the Social Security system during the first GOP primary debate way back on August. 6, 2015. This freeloading must be paid back to Seniors. Despite President Trump's problems with Republican RINOs, Seniors pray he still has the energy to help. During his campaign, candidate Trump promised to protect Social Security without cutting benefits. I wrote this book to help remind the President that a huge SSR monthly increase is the right medicine and it must be done ASAP before more Seniors suffer. Seniors, if denied the proper increase, need more than just accepting the bad medicine of the past. They need to be paid back for the abuses to the system over the years that Mike Huckabee and others have cited. If you don't have a mom or a dad who are hurting because their Social Security "check" does not even pay for their meals, you can't know how bad it is in America for "poor" Seniors. What should President Trump do in the absence of any Congressional leadership? His positive actions would include paying back Medicare from Obamacare. It would include increasing SSR benefits over the next four years of the Trump term by at least 15% per year. Even this will not make up for what was stolen from Seniors using a fraudulent cost of living percentage. What would you pay to see every senior in America smile because buying a fresh loaf of bread and a dozen eggs is no longer a big issue in their lives? Seniors ask for nothing more than to be made whole for the intentional fraud in Congress's CPI calculations and to use an accurate measurement of the cost of living and the out-of-pocket expenses endured by Seniors. My concern is that the good President Trump, as the sitting president, may be so insulated from the reality he knew as a candidate, might sit idle and permit an unfair inflation rate put more and more Seniors in the poorhouse. He must make up for all the past bad CPIs at once. American can take care of her Seniors if we so desire. In this book, we tell you how things can and must be made lots better for penniless Seniors, whose scant increases get wiped out all the time by Medicare increases. You'll be surprised as to how much sense it makes. President Trump cannot let Seniors down.
