IMHO the Dems are deliberately holding down SS increases so that they can run on “Taxing Wall Street to EXPAND Social Security” next fall.
In the nutjob places where they hang out on the interweb they are already telegraphing this.
I'd like to believe this - BUT, The first two yrs O'butt was in office, he put a 3 YEAR freeze of SS. That got cut down to 2 when the pubbies took over Congress and lifted the freeze for the 3rd yr.
SOOO the question begs - where the h*ll is congress on this this year?
How can it be legal to give ZERO cost of living and jack up the premium deduction by 50% - costing seniors @ $55 more a month!!!
