Social Security recipients to get cost-of-living raise of 5.9%, biggest since 1982. This raise pretty much affects all government pensions, military, VA, federal employees, etc.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

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

That's enough every month to pay for the increase in gas prices...for 1 or 2 fill ups.

Vote buying

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

BFD, we are getting back a small portion of the 100s of 1000s we paid in over many years. SS is a huge scam.

Complaining about a bump in pay... I think it’s more about adding another cost put on taxpayers by this administration and the spending spree they are on. More chickens are coming home to roost with this socialist take over.

S.S. is such a rip off but hey,it pays a few bills.I'm glad it's not my only source of income.If it was I'd probably be living off the grid and not by choice.If you go to a S.S. office,you will probably see most of the people applying,I'd say 80-90% are in their twenties and thirties and not in their sixties.

.If you go to a S.S. office,you will probably see most of the people applying,I'd say 80-90% are in their twenties and thirties and not in their sixties. Ha! You so right. Two years ago my wife got her citizenship and we went to the Social Security office to update her status and name change. There was one older man in his late sixties trying to get his payments started. There were six people under thirty trying to keep their coming. On a side note: as my wife presented her actual citizenship document, the office manger asked her permission to show it to the other employees "so they can see what an REAL citizenship certificate looks like".

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.

Let's see now.....BB (Before Biden) inflation was holding at about 1.5% for years First year BB it jumps to 6% - and it ain't done yet.
"Building back better"......riiiiiiiiight.
Next years will be pushing 10% or more, I think

For those existing on just SS for years the COLA kept their heads above water. But Clinton & Gingrich had a powwow and screwed with the CPI index items.
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.
