How does this person come close to this. He lived with mommy and daddy until he was 44.

annual inflation increase has been about 1200 bucks, so Bernie is only wanting to bump it another 1200.

How about deleting gov't employee retirement pension and medical special programs and shift them all over to standard SS and Medicare. Include congress, judges, in that shift to help pay for Bernies proposal

Damn the idiots that agreed FICA was a "tax". It only gave communists like Bernie a reason to tap into it and keep taxing everyone (but him, of course)

It's already expected to go up at least 3.7%. What are we talking about here? $200 a month?

That's easily doable. Just eliminate all the WIC fraud and Disability fraud.

But at least we flew the bird at MAGA. It was worth it. I'm willing to accept all the damage caused by democrats because Trump only did 80% of what I wanted.

Republicans were neutered before Trump breathed life into the party. But the true conservatives still think they'll be able to win without MAGA.

Republicans don't get the leeway allowed to democrats by the media and cultural leaders. This is why it was stupid for conservatives to turn so vehemently on their own. They played right into the democrats' hands.

Good luck getting people to join the party in 2028 after its own members spent years running it down. I'm not sure why conservatives think they can spend 24/7 attacking Trump and still convince people to vote for the party he ran as, but they do.

It seems like basic cause and effect to me, but I'll be happy if I'm wrong.

You do know the compounding effect of increases, right? or do you really believe this will be the only one?

That's coming, comrade. Which country, other than China, would welcome Elon as the industrialist and visionary he is? You know he's going to relocate. They want his head on a platter or for him to get the CK treatment.

I do, but the SS recipients all get a COL increase every year. That works in reverse, too. If SS recipients didn't get a COL every year, the compounding effect over time would force many into abject poverty.

He will tax the amount of my Social Security to cover the raise and then tax the amount left after Medicare for all deductions.
