Lawmakers look to change Social Security payments

White House and Congressional leaders are again looking to Social Security to help bring spending under control. One proposal is to change how inflation is calculated, thus making for smaller increases in social security checks.



                          In-Security

Our national leaders see spending increase
And try to find ways to make the rise cease;
They see Social Security as something to hit,
Although such a move will give some folks a fit.

They need to bring spending back under control
And what better way than to cut back on the dole?
The leaders, of course, will not be affected;
Except when the time comes to be re-elected.

    I've often thought we might get better politics if some of them hadn't come from such privileged families.
