Some people say they are struggling to deal with inflation and gas prices and don’t want to hear about the 2020 stolen election. Yes, but it’s on account of that stolen election that you have Biden and the policies that are making your life so much harder #2000Mules

The average Social Security monthly check for retired people is $1,666.49 & avg monthly spouse check is $837.34.
Skyrocketing inflation has made it extremely difficult for many seniors to afford food or gas, and I’m starting to hear some very sad stories.
These past few years have been so difficult on people, but it has been extra hard for our grandparent’s generation.
Not only were they more vulnerable to complications or death from Covid, w/ most in nursing homes being forced to be shut in alone or even die alone, now
the broken economy and high inflation is taking a serious toll on many senior’s ability to afford their basic needs to survive.
SS was never meant to fully pay for retired people’s living expenses, but many senior citizens depend completely on their SS checks.
Our grandparents are from a proud generation raised in a different time and many won’t ask for help even if they desperately need it.
Bring them a sack of groceries, invite them for dinner, and drop of a plate of food bc high food costs is causing many of them to miss meals.
Unless Congress acts, Social Security runs out of money by 2035.
Another poorly run federal government program on the verge of failure that Congress must fix.
The Alternate Plan used by 3 Texas counties is a good model, but should require a stair step design to move to it.
With over $30 trillion in debt and our federal government now grown into a giant monster with far too many people dependent on it, we have to have the courage to do what is right before it fails and fails the taxpayers who paid for it all.
“Some people say they are struggling to deal with inflation and gas prices and don’t want to hear about the 2020 stolen election.”
I wonder how many of these people voted for Biden which makes the inflation their own fault. I wish there could be two separate prices for gasoline, food etc. .... a lower one for people who voted for Trump and a higher one for people who voted for Biden or who did not but bother to vote.
