Social Security recipients receive a Cost of Living Adjustment, based on inflation. “In 2021, seniors got a 1.3% boost to their Social Security benefits. But next year's raise is shaping up to be a lot more substantial.” |

When Social Security was started in 1939 life expectancy for a man was around 60. So Congress made 65 the retirement age knowing that most men would not live long enough to collect it at that time. If they knew then that eventually men would live well into their 70s and 80s I'm sure the retirement age would have been much higher. Their intention was that you pay in but didn't live long enough to collect it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

So it's all political now. Dr Fuji trying to cancel Christmas again and all these vax mandates in different parts of the country. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It has been political from the very start. About power and getting sheep to blindly obey. The President is a fink. |

Yup, and started with trump questioning public health recommendations. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

This is because the government constantly gives out contradictory and confusing information. Nobody knows what's going on. Somebody posted here earlier that 60% of the people in hospitals now are vaccinated that are covid patients. Beijing Joe told us we were all perfectly safe if we were vaccinated. One day doctor Fuji says probably no Christmas this year and the very next day says he never said it. Confused yet? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3108 | When news of the corona virus broke and the nature of the threat became known congress should have met and put together a unified plan of action. In failing to do so the stage was set for the following horror show. Too bad most politicians are gutless pieces of garbage afraid of making the hard call. |
