Big, my ass!
Give congress a 3% raise and the stinking communist bastards would go ballistic...
Part of the drain on Soc Sec is caused by paying out to ‘refugees’ who never paid in a penny.
Paying out ‘Disabled’ to persons who do NOT have a physical disability-—They use drugs-—OR they GAMBLE & they get to COLLECT SSDI....
Those ‘lawyers’ who ‘specialize’ in such claims should be disbarred.
This has nothing to do with Biden.
Social Security’s annual COLA is determined by the CPI of the previous fiscal year. Since inflation skyrocketed during that time, the COLA for next year will be higher than usual.
“That in turn would mean a faster drain on Social Security’s trust fund, which looks to run empty in a little more than a decade at its current pace.”

Then they need to stop calling it a surplus while using it to fight unnecessary wars.
The shortage only makes sense if it was spent on something other than Social Security. The largest bulk of the people paid into the fund for a very long time. The money should be available to them without a shortage of funds. As the base shrunks, there are fewer people to pay. I presume this Trust Fund pays interest. There is no good reason for a shortage.
And why is this fund tied ot welfare? Welfare is a totally different thing and should have its own trustfund.
There’s entirely too much hanky panky by the .gob with OUR moneys!
How many are going to be pushed into a higher tax bracket and end up getting less?
Why not start by ELIMINATING the federal income TAX on Social Security payments?
Social security is supposed to be adjusted for inflation.
If there has been 9% inflation, then it shall be adjusted by 9%. Nothing special, no pandering. Really!
Social security is actually pretty low, a lot less for most than the $15 dollar and hour job!
People living on Soc Sec, only, are poor!
He’s not changing my mind by dangling money in front of me.

‘They’ have to get the Cloward-Piven decimation of America one way or another or in many ways.
this is absolute bullshit ... SS COLA is determined solely by a longstanding mathematical formula ... a large COLA simply means inflation is out of control ... and THAT dementia joe is responsible for ...
That in turn would mean a faster drain on Social Security’s trust fund, which looks to run empty in a little more than a decade at its current pace.
Another “Trust fund” lie.
Pedo Joe is sending this money to people who are not STUPID.\
Who know they are being used and they will react accordingly.
If he thinks it will make him look sane...HE IS WRONG.
You cannot buy ME and I’m sure of many others who feel the same.
THEY ARE GETTING A GIANT INCREASE BECAUSE THE COST OF LIVING HAS GIANTLY INCREASED.
That’s not good.
Social security is NOT welfare. Workers paid into it as did their employers on their behalf. Not our fault that the government stole our money.
