    I can only guess he represents to some people what they want but feel they have been denied.  So it is a kind of jealousy.  Or they make him a scapegoat for their fears.

    The president has nothing to do with Soc. Sec. COLA raises.  Trump didn't give me anything.

    "By law, the monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) federal benefit rate increases when there is a rise in the cost of living. The government measures changes in the cost of living through the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI-W)."

    Well they do not measure very well. Under Obama when gas was going crazy. SS had 4 years with little (1 yr .3% and 3 with 0%) Do you believe there has ever been a year with no Cost of Living increases?

    This article explains why there was no cost of living increase for three years under Obama and how increases are calculated.

    I know that is how they figured it. But I can tell you I lived those years and cost of everything sent up. I remember calling BS back then as well.

    I understand that a lot of people were not happy and that the cost of things goes up, but if you read the entire article, you see that a large number of people began to collect at that time and the calculations had to be revised.

    The number of people should have no bearing on COLA.
    They claim it was gas dropping that countered everything else raising.  
    I believe they did not want to because as you said a cost measure. Obama changed the law to criminal activity no longer barred a person from collecting benefits. This post was edited by my2cents at May 20, 2019 8:59 AM MDT

    It can if it depletes the Social Security Fund too much.  Remember, the Baby Boomers, the largest segment of society, are collecting and starting to collect now.

    True. But they have been paying I all their lives and the gov should not have spent it. 
    If a private retirement firm operated like that they would go to prison.  ie. Jim Baker, Maddoff

    That's because Congress didn't pass legislation to prevent Soc. Sec. funds from going into the general treasury or the ability to raid it when they needed more money.  That fund should be inviolate.

    I know they did not...but they should have. They should not penalize people because they over spent.

    That's for sure and even if they had to borrow to meet the budget, they should have been required to put it back.

      Wait, I thought that Joe Biden has been deemed a pervy, groping heel?  Isn't it against the law for a lib to side with him?
