DB by the time you get that little raise prices will have risen to take that and more. If I tried to rent a place in Ashe County right now it would take twice what I get a month for just rent. Where would money come from for electricity, etc?? As they say you can't get money from a turnip. You can bet the utility companies, grocery stores, etc are already counting that increase on their books. In case noone has figured it out the wealthy don't care, they already have plenty of money in banks or hidden in offshore accounts and that is what is now running this country into the ground.

Surfer, where did all the money go that was paid in to social security fund? When the democrats say they are not going to touch Social Security, they are saying we will have a 28 percent cut. Do you know as soon as immigrant is granted asylum, they are automatically eligible for all government benefits. I agree Trump mishandle Covid because two weeks should have been two weeks. Contrary to what liberals believe there isn't a money tree in DC, the money comes from people working. How long did DEMOCRATS keep people at home not working? If Joe had a plan, how come more people die under his administration than Trump? Now democrats keep shouting Global inflation but who is the biggest purchaser of consumer goods and who sent the products overseas to be purchased by us? Fiscal responsibility and Joe Biden don't belong in the same sentence. If everything was wonderful, why are democrats only campaign is abortion and we hate Trump. Tell us the democrat plan and please don't say we are going after the rich because that is a lie. The rich get richer under democrats and the middle class shrink. Let's compare the democrats plans and Project 2025 and see which is scarier

My, my, my, have you got another tune you can play on that one string banjo, DumbBell? We have GLOBAL inflation because of the pandemic. Inflation in the USA is much lower than other countries because of Biden's fiscal policies. It would have been much lower still had it not been for Trump's mishandling of Covid 19 (Democrat plot, and it will be gone by May) and his fiscal irresponsibility. So, why don't you go take your my, my, my, whine to him. Maybe he can find a remedy for what ails you, like Chlorox and a flashlight. Oh, no that's been done already.

"my ss has already been hit by Bidens inflation"

No worries... he's giving you 2.6% increase next year to make up for it.

Money is limited. Y'all want money for illegals or money for Social Security?

Now that Samaritan in the parable, did he take time to ascertain whether the traveler was legal or if he had medical insurance. "Let's make sure if you're legal and financially capable." No one's giving benefits to any illegals, providing human needs is not giving benefits. A pregnant woman, a sick or injured child; if they're not legal just let 'em lay there and die is that how it works?

We need to free up some cash to pay for the illegals.


Democrats are OK with letting illegals have benefits so we will just have to give Americans less?

Well said Green Arrow, and you are right. We will fight and die for what we need. But if you pay attention you know it is true. Trump said he would end payroll tax on Social Security if he was re-elected last time. That would end it. no money coming in. They don't care if we die, Medicare will be gone also 175 a month is taken out of my SS a month. This is not funny at all.

The govmint owes the social security fund more than $17 trillion, will they pay it back before they kill it off?

Gascon, my father until the day he died said there would be a war inside this country, not from within. He was rarely wrong. He always said he probably would not see it but I might or my kids might. Now what do you think will happen if they take the Social Security from people who paid it in?? Social Security is not an ENTITLEMENT, or a gift, its money you pay in every day of your working life. It pisses me off when they call it an ENTITLEMENT. Lets just say it would make that little so called insurrection look like a cakewalk I don't care much for politics because its a game of the wealthy but you have to remember there are more of the so called poor than there are of them. A lot of us are willing to fight and die for what we need. Not like the rich what we want but what we need to live.

They will do it and laugh in our faces. The rest will be taken care of, veterns, state workers, teachers, government workers will still get pensions and free health care.

If the Republicans take congress and senate with Trump president, our social security is gone. This alone will be the downfall of the USA. The Republicans wanted to end from the beginning. This is the only thing I don't' like about the Republicans.

Surfer is a well known exaggerator.
As a leftist, lying comes natural to surfer and its ilk.

Fox you sound like only the "blacks" are drawing Social Security. I guess you would rather vote for Biden to take the Social Security funds and send them to the Ukraine. What could have been done with those millions Biden handed the Ukraine for a war noone will really win?? Sound familiar, Iraq, etc. How many hungry and homeless AMERICANS could have been taken care of with those millions?? I am going to let you in on a little SECRET and you can stop the fearmongering. . The president can't do very much without the backing of CONGRESS. Its set up that way. Personally I have never seen a presidential election with such bad choices. At least I could afford groceries under Trimp. People could afford gasoline to get to work
