  1. Today AP News reports 3.8% inflation surge.

    #SocialSecurity #COLA is based on CPI-W averages from July, August, and September — not the full year. Inflation after September doesn’t affect January benefits until the next cycle. Given current payout levels, even a 0.1% COLA difference changes annual Social Security spending by roughly $1.5 billion. Small percentages become very large federal budget numbers.

  10. “ The #Scarcity ” scam, we’re not broke, we’re being robbed.

    We are told the same story again and again. That #healthcare is too expensive. That #SocialSecurity is unsustainable. That we cannot afford to house the poor, raise wages, cancel student loan debt, or fix what is broken.

    Across the entire #economy, money is not being reinvested in society. It is being funneled upward.”
