it's a vicious cycle, but social security recipients receive raises ONLY AFTER INFLATION HAS ALREADY BEEN RAGING. Any rise they MAY receive is only a very small drop in the bucket. If you want to slow down or stop inflation, you have to tackle the socialists give-away programs first.
Does not seem right that the % increase in SNAP payments will be higher that the social security % increase.
I’m on social security and it sure doesn’t feel like I’ve been pandered too. I worked for 47 years so just maybe I should get something back. And, since Biden’s policies have erased about 20% of my investments.
Sounds like a normal inflation increase to me in a year of abnormal inflation.
Seriously, why are people on Freerepublic complaining that Social Security is tied to the inflation rate? Do you want Social Security recipients to fall behind? Do you want the Democrats to be able to honestly say the GOP favors cutting Social Security? (Not keeping pace with inflation would be a cut)
Unfortunately, Republicans like Lindsey Graham really are calling for Social Security cuts. But many of them at the same time want MORE money for Ukraine.
And they also want their own federal pensions to keep pace with inflation. Please, don’t be sheeple for Lindsey Graham Republicans and the Koch-funded libertarian think tanks that give them cover by putting out white papers against Social Security
The political class has a secure retirement. Don’t let them deny you one by cutting your Social Security while helicopteringvdollars onto Ukraine.
Funny how their is never any talk about running out of money for War or Welfare.
Just Social Security.
Humana part D has been most reasonable in my part of TX.
Or teachers' pay. Or unionized government workers pay.
I understand the kickback here but it (the increase) is not an intentional one by him as some magnanimous gesture. Rather, SS COLA is tied to is tied to inflation rates by law. If anything, such a potential increase is a testament to massive incompetence of this fraudulent administration. Frankly, Biden would have kept that increase and given it to Zelensky if he could have. Biden doesn’t give a crap about seniors.
I got news for Brandon......giving us a raise isn’t going to make me vote for him.....good try though.
Thank you! Will check it out.
Same thing as welfare.
This is the problem with the Administrative State. The president and executive bureaucracy can do things like this. Its driving the country into third world status so the Dems can try to win re-election.
It’s time to get those slacker college punks to work supporting the elderly...maybe raise the FICA tax a few points...they’ll just piss it away on booze, drugs, and tranny surgeries.
Are you saying you oppose giving Social Security recipients an inflation adjustment?
Don't forget tats.
He just gave himself a big raise.
Laplata, for what it’s worth, I read a report the other
day that stated Medicare premiums might remain flat or
even drop a little.
I don’t recall where I read it, but it didn’t see to be
a fly by night internet site.
I’m also interested in how those premiums are going to be
changing.
Exactly.
Ukraine just asked for another $57 billion for next year.
Of course, Biden and Congress will grant that plea.
An egregious oversight on my part...mea culpa.
