When will social security increase due to inflation?

Seems like retired people would be better off on welfare since it has seen inflation increases
Sad that people who actually contributed are punished while the free loaders are rewarded

This is an actual Dimocrat strategy. Use your money to pay for votes.

They are the ones that created and cultivated the freeloaders. Hence, we have our current dilemma.

They get a cost of living adjustment every year.

Good question. Bad assumption as those of us who had our earnings commandeered for “the common good” over a lifetime, honored our part of the Contract. Even so, the Fascists/Marxists are going to crash the whole economy and God only knows what replaces it. ‘Wailing and gnashing of teeth” most likely.

They also get an increase in Medicare premiums that offset much of the increase.

Correct and there is no way the increase keeps up with current inflation levels.

I found out a few years ago that the amount of money that can be taxed for social security tax each year is limited. It positively impacts me each year, but it’s so dumb of the IRS to limit their revenue. Just another sign of how idiotic our federal government is.

It is capped because the amount you can draw each month is capped.

He is referring to welfare recipients as the free loaders. They get cost of living increases due to inflation.

Social Security did increase by 5.9% in January of 2022 due to inflation. In a normal economy, that would be fine, in Biden’s economy, it ain’t.

It will be a while, the whole point of the currency devaluation going on is to raise wages, reduce benefits, effectively reduce national debt, and raise taxes without actually voting to do so or announcing it publicly.
Whom is being punished right now are savers and retirees and they will bear the brunt of this by having their nest egg substantially reduced.
This inflation is being induced and is not an accident.

Such a stupid system. Let’s make old people’s retirement income based on younger people working and then give young people reasons not to work. Oh and we will fund the reasons not to work out of the pockets of people that haven’t yet realized there is no reason to work.

No shite. It would be much better to pay into an annuity over 40 years, but, you can't rob an insurance company like you can taxes.

Freeloaders vote Democrat. Workers don't.
