Believe me I’d much rather had the money I contributed into SS in my hands to do as I please than the gvt giving me back what they tell me I get and when.

Most will not remember, but it was sold as a supplement to retirement funds.



Its was just an interest free loan that they forced you to give them...and then decided how much to pay you back.





Anyone paying attention knows that. And if you don’t then you’re one of those people that get excited over their spring “tax refund “......


Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....

It works to about an extra 8 half-gallon tubs of Breyer’s Butter Pecan ice cream.

Boomer math

Wait...just got a message from the producers....the older silent generation that may still be with us, that is 10 tubs of Borden’s Ice Milk.

Yum


With inflation, it’s not.....


So drop two off two ice milks
And a butter pecan

Same amount of Yum tho

Ice cream and Wheel of Fortune

Next thing you know, you'll be runnin' down the Murder She Wrote and Magnum P.I. shows.

Bonus show came on as I was falling asleep after HOCKEY last night. Jessica was on the show with Magnum! a twofer I tell ya'

Only thing better would have been if Robert Blake and William Conrad had been guest stars.

I don't think this applies to ALL military pensions, federal pensions, SS, etc. I have never seen an across the board raise for all entities. They all have separate budgets, separate purses... and differing processes for approval.

Why do I have a strange feeling that beer is about to go up.

Oh well, tit for tat. We got that $1200 stim check & my water bill from a leak I didn't know about was....... guess.

Any raise is good, I still can't believe I've received 13 SS checks.....and none have bounced.

My property taxes go up about 10% a year, which will take care of any SS raise I may get. In one pocket, out the other.

Big guy in a Lincoln as I recall. Doubt he could fit in a Pinto or such. Back when TV shows still used 'murican made vehicles. None of these kids flyin' around in souped up Hondie cars.
