Chained CPI. The cheaper the items seniors buy, the lower the cost of living raise. Not good.

9. It does, specifically it strengthens the giant trust fund

that is a SS asset but that belongs to the 1%.

You see, sensible people realize that if any of that trust fund ever goes to the workers that fill it full of their money, they could not continue pretending the deficit is lower than it is by not counting that money when they spend it, it should always be a source to fund tax cuts for the wealthy off the books and not a source to pay earned benefits silly.

Son't you know anything about modern finance and how retirement funds are the best source of cash for management to fund off the books profit?

With enough strengthening, why they can get that trust fund up a trillion more and have even more free tax cut money. In the end, just get rid of the benefits all together and the slush fund and all the tax cuts provided by it will just disappear along with SS and be forgotten, making it a crime that never happened!

Smart people understand these things, only idiots and serfs think that serf money belongs to the serfs, it rightfully ALL belongs to the 1%
