“Our government allows inflation to eat away at Social Security payments until the cat food runs out and nature takes it’s course.”

Really? Then what are those cost of living adjustments I get every year?

That cost of living adjustment is less than the inflation rate, and if you’re paying for a short term care, long term care, or other retirement related plan, you’re also paying more each year for supplemental coverage when their rates go up.

What was the SS rate increase last year? 1.5% or there-abouts. Are your costs at the supermarket going up less than 1.5% per years?

What about the other places you frequent?
