Trump raising SS 70.00 a month.
SISTER - TWO THINGS I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW, THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT.
1. The political fight to increase Social Security benefits passed a milestone late Thursday night as 42 Democratic U.S. senators voted to increase payments to beneficiaries and
all Republican senators voted no.

2. Beginning in 1975,
Social Security started
automatic annual
cost-of-livingallowances. The change was enacted by legislation that ties COLAs to the annual
increase in the CPI-W. The change means that inflation no longer drains value from
Social Security benefit
(TO REMIND YOU 1975 WE HAD A DEM HOUSE & SENATE AND A MODERATE
REPUBLICAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE (BACK WHEN THERE WAS SUCH A THING
AS A MODERATE REPUBLICAN)
NOW, BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT IN THEY YEAR TALKED
ABOUT IN 1. ABOVE THE INDEX DID NOT RISE ENOUGH FOR A SOC. SEC. INCREASE. DEMS
PUSHED FOR A SMALL INCREASE ANYWAY (GAS, MEDS ETC) WHILE REPUBLICANS UNIVERSALLY
OPPOSED IT.
KEEP THAT IN MIND NEXT TIME YOU START SINGING THE PRAISES OF REPUBLICANS AND HOW MUCH
THEY LOVE YOU.
