Social Security is supposed to have cost of living adjustments once a year. There has not been a change payments in over two years. The first year, the powers that be, stated that there was no rise in the cost of living (using their "formula"). This last year, there was no increase because, "government cannot afford it."
There use of the "formula", ignores the fact that gasoline prices skyrocketed, the cost of my electricity bill is up over 50%, auto insurance, homeowners insurance, food prices, etc. etc. have all increased.
Who makes the determination that social security payments are not going to increase? Not the Democrats...they are in favor of such C.O.L increases.
That leaves the Republicans. I have voted for Republicans upon occasion, usually because of their pro-second amendment stand. However, I will never vote for a Republican ever again, for the rest of my life. And I encourage other seniors to do the same. They are really good at coming up with "formulas".
