I will be 76 in 12 days and am a widow. I live month to month on Social Security and a small retirement. If Social Security is lowered I will go from low middle class into poverty class. I paid into Social Security for over 50 years and am a retired Union member. I and thousands of others in the same situation as I am will not be able to keep our homes and health in tact if Social Security is cut.
