The new social security raise starting in January is a joke!

Biden announced he was giving people in social security a 3.2% raise to combat inflation. My wife signed up for Social security this past September. She was told that her Medicare insurance payments would be deducted from her check before she got it. That's fine. Two weeks ago she got a letter from Medicare stating they were raising the cost of her drug coverage plan. So after deducting the new increase of this new 3.2% pay raise she will only see an additional $0.78 per month in her check to cover all the inflation Biden has caused. Thanks Joe! Don't count on our support in November.

Inflation is 8 percent, and food is 15 to 20 percent inflated. Yet people living on social security are expected to cope with a 3.2 percent cost of living raise. PATHETIC!!!!!! DISGUSTING!!!!! CRIMINAL!!!!

@4meAndyou Exactly! Especially when the prescription plan of Medicare goes up too. After the rate increase all she gets is an extra $0.78 a month. 😠😠😠😠
