  1. No COLA for greedy seniors

  2. Social Security is in danger because the Republicans are trying to cut it for all Americans, especially the elderly Americans.

  3. Fantastic. Great job President Biden! Thank you! Maybe next year you can get a bigger increase! Next…please cap all prices and give everyone who is lacking income (due to systemic racism) guaranteed income checks to end poverty once and for all! Blue Wave coming!!!!! Make the USA more equitable one day at a time!

  4. many of us remember the massive rate hike of 1985; this created surpluss beyond imagining which (of course) went to the General Treasury for typical pork spending (and has so every yr). At that time it was said, "This will fix the system for next 37 yr". Now the Gov't says, system can't go broke; no fooling—simply print more money to cover the monthly benefit payments. Fiscal yrs end 30 Sept; why wait until Jan?

  5. Is ssdi going to get the increase or is it just seniors

  6. The biggest adjustment in 41 years is 70 dollars at a time a meal-a-day costs $20 dollars. What fkn joke! The whole system is ran via the corruption of intentional oppression, government extortion, fraud, and dereliction of duty.

  7. 8.7 increase against 17- 23 per cent inflation. Whoopee. Airheads.

  8. I don't find where this Bill has even been Passed Yet!……….Let me guess we've got an Election right around the Corner…

  9. It's simple.
    Tax more of the income of high earners.

  10. It is our Income.They Stole our Acets in 2008 2010 2012 Baby Bummers have just been Hammered time and Time again.

  11. Them devils stole out money and laugh at us them to is in big trouble where Nancy now

  12. How about really loking into cases being brought infront of them . Need to get ride of the fakers that are in this system using up folks money

  13. To me this is nothing it goes to one hand and out the other is still all the same they not giving you anything extra who they kidding they raise one thing and lower a other thing like your food stamp it will go down because they raising your check so is all the same 😜 no extra and you still in the same 😜and once they raise it watch they will raise everything up again 🤣🤣🤣🤣so this is a big joke

  14. Do you really think $73 is going to help ssi what a joke that still leaves ssi way below poverty

  15. Bribing voters by the Democratic Party

  16. Social security is more than funded they rake in a lot of money it’s a republican lie that it is going broke

  17. Employees at the federal level need to be dismissed, and their pensions slashed.

  18. There should be no COLA for greedy seniors.

  19. My name youtobe hoang lam truong chanel

  20. 146 well they take the Medicare premium is higher then that!

  21. even with rises our bills go up

  22. Not enough. Where did you get 146.00 dollars. Propaganda I don't come up with that. Last year it did not come out to what they said either. It's never what they say it is going to be.

  23. That still isn't enough. I won't even get 146.00 extra a month. I'll only get like 90.00. I really don't know were everyone keeps saying around 146.00 or higher extra a month.

  24. Well the first place SS needs to start is with these families that have never paid into SS yet claim their child/children have a disability and they're receiving welfare.. Can't have yur cake and eat it too.. Another place is these people that are on drugs and can't work cuz they can't pass a drug test.. 🙄 That'd definitely free up money.. I could go on SMFH..
    If everything has already gone up by 8-35% and is still rising.. How the hell is the little 8.7% going to help us 🤷

  25. be more specific, is this just for retirees? What about people on disability that can't work?

  26. I DONT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT PLAIN AND SIMPLE

  27. Woohoo I get a whole $68. And now they're going to cut my food stamps. So why did they bother. Simply not enough. They spend more at one dinner then I do in a whole month. This Administration is not taken care of anyone but themselves.

  28. Put our tax money into social security instead of war in Ukraine and illegal financial theft by elected public officials servants FJB-FBO

  29. social security is hooked up the cost of living. it's a good and a bad thing. the more you get the more things are costing. this isn't Joe Biden being kind to us it's the way he has effed up the economy. we had low raises with Trump and low raises in prices.

  30. The cost of living increase does not keep up with the inflation rate. I am happy to be getting an increase but it will not make much difference because of inflation.

  31. Okay that means I get $85 more. Great. That means I've reached the limit for my $60 a month food stamps. So food stamps will be no more. I'm within 200 of losing Medicaid. So I may need to pay larger co-pays. That $85 extra means I will pay more in HUD housing. Do I really get that $85 raise? NO. Not really. Instead I loose over 150 a month

  32. What they should do is stop giving people $2000 each kid at the end of the year when they claim their taxes and give that to people who actually need it Just saying. 8.7% raise on my SSI will only give me 980 each month. It’s a goddamn joke the way they’re doing people.

  33. We going to get a check and October social security check and October

  34. All the prices u quoted were 30 percent 20 percent n they give 8.7 ? Every year are dollar buys less. Seniors always get the bone. What about the 200 a mth Biden promised n the 2,000 stimlus haven’t kept 1 promise it’s been all lies.

  35. if r check goes up , i think who is renting from should not beable to up u r rent

  36. Yes people only making 780 amonth that's not going to help that much way to go the overpaid Politicians live on 250.000 ayear

  37. This is a joke …MEANTIME CONGRESS gets These Big Bonus's To Sit And Be Non Working I Say Everyone In The WHITE HOUSE Get A Pay Cut in Half …

  38. How about all bad raise we got past 20 yrs .Why hasn't Politicians guts to raise thr super Rich and Big company pay there fare share to ?

  39. A secret about COL increases. For the most vulnerable those in poverty. The COL increase evaporates those living in HUD apartments. The rent is increased to absorb always all of the so needed funds. What little us left goes to energy increase at facility. A common joke among those recipients " oh I can buy a extra roll of toilet paper " . Also since the poverty level which housing relies on has not increased in several years which everyone knows should aline with inflation. Why is this injustice not know?

  40. Why don't somebody find out what George Bush Jr did with the 3 trillion dollars now here this 3 trillion dollars when he was president he took out of social security where did that money go and what did he do with it find out about that would you please

  41. Even with the fluctuation in the economy, I'm so excited I've been earning $45,000 from my $10,000 investment every 10days.

  42. The way this guy has the economy he needs to give that extra $200 to all the retired he promised this is not enough.

  43. No it will not.. the country makes money.
