what? Are you in a parallel universe?

What inflation adjustments? We are in a period of DEFLATION mr smartypants. That means all social security payments will be adjusted DOWN, unless they chop the adjustments.

I don't know about you, but I intend to outlive the current economic difficulties.

All of the "cures" I see are highly inflationary. In the medium-long term there will be inflation. This is not parallel universe thinking, it is thinking beyond this year and next. If Bambi reduces SS benefits, or takes out the automatic inflation adjustment, it will have consequences for many, many years.
