The budget bill going through Congress eliminates almost all file and suspend scenarios.
@MarT: 2 thoughts on this statement. 1. Why is it included in this budget bill? Social Security, by law, does not add to the deficit. It is not a driver of long-term debt. Social Security needs to be addressed but adding cuts to the budget doesn't really help the budget, it is 2. The House is writing the bill and the Senate will either agree with it or make some changes and it will go back to committee to get those things either worked in or out. At some point they will come to an agreement. Which party holds the majority in both houses???? The GOP.So if you don't like the proposed changes to Social Security that the House is needlessly putting into the budget then you know whom to blame and it sure isn't the Democrats.
