I wish

There was something in the build back better bill that would truly increase ssi payments.

Increase it without the shell game that takes away any raise we would have .

Something insuring that hud housing cost would'nt increase or foodstamps decrease to take away any real raise we would get.

Why not increase foodstamps to the amount they were at the pandemic?

We get even less in useable income now as prices have shot through the roof.

Tired of pointless and fake cola increases at the end of the year.

People on ssi do we count too?



With the way things are right now I dunno.

Healthcare, housing food and education for the taxes paid by its people, yet the USA can manage to offer corporate subsidies to business that doesn't even pay taxes and takes our money in tax credits.
For decades the GOP has managed to convince these people to give their grocery money to their party's principals of cutting services while dining on fancy dinners at their exspense.

We need Biden's build back better and social security reformed to include all income earned, so it can provide a larger check for people, along with education and Healthcare for all.
