How can they tell social security recipients that inflation is about 1.5 percent, and then turn around and increase their own budges by 5.5%. And that same social security number is the number they use to compensate our military.
Even the republican 3.3% is way off. If they can cap social security at the so-called core inflation rate, then they can cap ALL spending at the same rate.
That said, I wouldn’t increase it at all. I’d chop so many departments that all of them would fear for their existence.
