That ought to calm the Boomer masses some! Not the ones that opposed socialist programs to begin with . 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.....

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.

Every time I get a SS raise, my insurance goes up the exact same amount. Always a wash. Yup.

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.

Is that the lard ass with the battery on his shoulder? 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.
