The real inflation rate is around 17% and they are complaining that they might give a 9% raise in SS next year. Probably will be much less then 9%.

The Fed has been under reporting inflation for decades.

SS payments have been shrinking as a result and are a shadow of what they once were.

Anyone that thinks they can retire comfortably on Social Security is in for a rude awakening when they see their first check.

The biggest insult from SS in my opinion is that the Dems made SS income taxable under IRS rules.

Their idea of taxing the rich.

The SS administration should bump everyone under a certain limit up, take away SS from those with retirement over a certain amount. Cut people pretending to be disabled off forever, privatize the entire system for the future, and let the old people stay comfortable until death, but END THE SYSTEM SOON..got to a Chile type of retirement. I will bet the Congress critters get a SS check AND retirement.... and a lot of them are doing it right now...Pelosi, Biden... and more.
