Maybe it’ll be there and maybe it won’t. I’m supposed to get 2K a month if I work until I’m 70. My mortgage won’t be paid off until I’m 80, so that’s not a lot of help. Then again, I’ll probably have sold the place long before then, but even so, it’s not going to go far enough even if all I’m doing is paying ordinary bills.
So, I’ll work. And won’t worry about it. And won’t ever ever vote for a Democrat, no matter how ‘conservative’, ever ever again.
That 2G a month may buy you a nice evening at the McDonald’s by the time you get it. Or maybe it won’t. SS will not rise with inflation any more and real inflation is running at between 6 and 10 % right now and accelerating. At some point we start talking about inflation per month then day. That point will occur pretty soon, I think. Our public servants won’t talk about it though.
