even if SS isnā€™t ā€œbankruptā€ itā€™s being decimated by Fed devaluation, 30 years of these 0-3% increases while real inflation is 5-10% and the whole check will buy 30 cans of cat food

Iā€™ll take the 3% Cola.

Regardless of all the increases supposed, any little bit is better than nothing. My SS check is so minimal, but it affords me a ā€œBig Macā€ every so often. :wink:
