Washington DC<\/strong> \u2013 Con las personas mayores y otros beneficiarios del Seguro Social enfrentando un segundo a\u00f1o consecutivo sin un ajuste por costo de vida, el senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley se uni\u00f3 a 16 de sus colegas esta semana para pedirle al l\u00edder republicano del Senado, Mitch McConnell, que apoye los pagos de ayuda de emergencia $250 por m\u00e1s de 50 millones adultos mayores y estadounidenses discapacitados. La congelaci\u00f3n de los beneficios del Seguro Social se produce en un momento en que muchos jubilados a\u00fan sufren las p\u00e9rdidas de pensiones que se produjeron como resultado de la crisis financiera.
 
\u201cEsperamos que est\u00e9 de acuerdo con nosotros en que es mucho m\u00e1s importante brindar $250 en ayuda de emergencia a las personas mayores y veteranos discapacitados que brindar una exenci\u00f3n fiscal promedio de m\u00e1s de $100,000 al a\u00f1o a los contribuyentes que ganan m\u00e1s de $1 mill\u00f3n al a\u00f1o\u201d, escribieron los senadores en la carta a McConnell.<\/p>\n

El viernes pasado, el l\u00edder de la mayor\u00eda del Senado, Harry Reid, declar\u00f3 su intenci\u00f3n de solicitar al Senado los pagos \u00fanicos del Seguro Social cuando el Congreso se re\u00fana en noviembre. El presidente Obama tambi\u00e9n ha pedido un pago de emergencia $250 para personas mayores y personas con discapacidades. Sin embargo, los republicanos del Senado han obstruido regularmente incluso la legislaci\u00f3n de rutina durante los \u00faltimos dos a\u00f1os, lo que hace necesaria la cooperaci\u00f3n de McConnell incluso si la mayor\u00eda de los senadores apoya la pol\u00edtica.<\/p>\n

Sin la acci\u00f3n del Congreso, los jubilados y discapacitados no recibir\u00e1n un ajuste por costo de vida por segundo a\u00f1o consecutivo. La f\u00f3rmula obsoleta no tiene en cuenta con precisi\u00f3n los presupuestos de las personas mayores que gastan una cantidad desproporcionada de sus ingresos en atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y medicamentos recetados.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl Congreso pronto debatir\u00e1 la extensi\u00f3n de las reducciones de impuestos de Bush y si deber\u00edamos proporcionar o no $700 mil millones en exenciones de impuestos durante los pr\u00f3ximos 10 a\u00f1os al 2 por ciento superior de los ingresos. Debemos tener en cuenta que el costo estimado de $13 mil millones del alivio de emergencia este a\u00f1o para nuestros adultos mayores es solo una fracci\u00f3n de los $70 mil millones en exenciones fiscales anuales promedio durante la pr\u00f3xima d\u00e9cada que ir\u00edan al 2 por ciento m\u00e1s rico de los estadounidenses si todas estas exenciones fiscales se extienden\u201d, dec\u00eda la carta.<\/p>\n

\u201cPor lo tanto, le escribimos para pedirle que se una a nosotros para apoyar la legislaci\u00f3n tan pronto como el Senado regrese a la sesi\u00f3n para proporcionar $250 en ayuda de emergencia a los ancianos y veteranos discapacitados m\u00e1s vulnerables de nuestra naci\u00f3n para ayudarlos a pagar su mayor costo de vida. \u201d, escribieron los senadores a McConnell.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s de los senadores Merkley y Reid, otros que firmaron la carta incluyen a los senadores Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Byron L. Dorgan (DN.D.), Kirsten Gillibrand (DN.Y), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Frank Lautenberg (DN.J.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Robert Menendez (DN.J.), Patty Murray (D-WA ), Jack Reed (DR.I.), el senador Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Charles E. Schumer (DN.Y.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) y Sheldon Whitehouse (DR.I.) .<\/p>\n
