Not long ago, senior citizens got the two biggest annual increases in their monthly Social Security checks that most had ever seen. But for many of them, the adjustments still weren’t enough to cope with the runaway inflation of earlier this decade and the continued high prices for food, housing, utilities and other necessities.

    So let’s see… “Not keeping up with inflation” vs “reducing it even further”…

    You lack critical thinking skills. Watch their voting histories. Every time you say “citation plz!” - all we really have to do is gesture broadly to…well…everything…

        Ah the good ol’ conservative mantra. Cut spending to programs that work. Claim government doesn’t work. Cut spending even more, turn program useless, point at it as an example that government doesn’t work. Blame Government for useless program, push to “privatize” it - moving the goalposts every time people mention that you’re trying to destroy a system that worked…

        We’ve seen it all before.

                Can you tell me what the Heritage Foundation is?

                Can you explain every single news article under this search? https://www.google.com/search?q=gop calls to end social security&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-m#ip=1

                And yes, Cheetoh Jesus has called for cuts to social security and raising the age.

                You claiming youve never seen it highlights your ability to ingest information outside your bubble.

                    Im the original reply. I’m well aware of what I wrote.

                    What do you think the plan is after social security benefits are lowered and the age is raised so that everyone dies before they can use it?

                    Secondly, if you think that think tanks dont drive policy and even literally write legislation youre delusional.
