Funny food prices are rising everywhere in the world except here. Social security says we have had no inflation for two years.
I look for S.S. to say the same thing for next year too. Remember the last raise? I believe it was about 5.4%, which was quite nice but no raise at all in the 2 years following and possibly 3 years. I hope all the old folks remember this in the next election.
Medicare slashes are coming too. 'course there are members here who think that's just fine, never mind we've paid for it all our working lives.
Now, I'll sit back and wait for the inevitable flames.
You been to the supermarket lately?
Last week a head of lettuce was $5 here.
RE: Social security says we have had no inflation for two years.
The government is just doing that to AVOID having to pay Seniors more. In other words, “no inflation” ( note the quotes ), means NO COLA’s.
Why are is SS doing that ? Well, if you have to ask then you have not been paying attention -— THE DAY OF RECKONING FOR THE PONZI SCHEME HAS ARRIVED. SOCIAL SECURITY IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF MONEY !
It happened to Bernard Madoff after 25 years. It is beginning to happen to Social Security today.
“Social security says we have had no inflation for two years.”
Odd, I thought I had just read that it had increased by 2% since December.(but I can’t remember where I saw it)
