Inflationary spending loop to accelerate the collapse of Social Security. All feels by design.
It’s like fighting a fire with gasoline....................
I’d prefer lower gas and food prices and a very small and extremely fiscal conservative government.
That happens I’ll give up half my SS.
That will eventually work...it will just help the fire burn faster. Which is probably what the haters of America want.
some of them, won’t make till then...

I’d settle for no Soc Sec payment if they give me back all the money I’ve put in over a working lifetime.
I laugh heartily at all mentions of Social Security Collapse. We just added $25 trillion to the national debt in 25 years time. A third of that would have covered the Social Security shortfall for over a generation, if not 2 generations.
It is not about reality. They don’t care. They WANT a crash.
Of course they do. Screwing the retirees is the name of the game.
They figure we’ll be dead in a few years, and then they will have nothing but morons to govern.
“Idiocracy” is a prophecy...............
Obviously, the 5.9 we received in January is insufficient measured against the present inflation rate. Groceries and gas prices are killing us seniors.
Don’t forget they also took a huge portion of it back for Medicare!! So all in all seniors are really struggling with this inflation, IF they raise SS again for inflation they will just take a LARGER portion back for Medicare AGAIN!!
Wonderful. 8.6% will buy two tanks of gas each month for us. When Congress passed the stuff that put SS in trouble, they should have increased the rate to 8% from 7.65%.
I think 'killing you seniors' is the whole point.
Covid wasn't as effective as they'd have liked.
“Groceries and gas prices are killing us seniors.”
..and federal, state, and local taxes.
Boost SS under CPI-E and they’ll likely come after IRAs to pay for it. Fiscal slight of hand, and the we oldies die off and nothing more to fret over.
stripping out the rhetoric, what effect would this have on the increase?
“Obviously, the 5.9 we received in January is insufficient measured against the present inflation rate. Groceries and gas prices are killing us seniors.”
Don’t forget the 14.5% increase in Medicare Part B that they automatically deducted from the SSA at the same time.
“Groceries and gas prices are killing us seniors.”
..and federal, state, and local taxes.
When l think of where we would be if the rats were prevented from stealing the election….
