Got my SS notice of my 2017 New Benefit Amount today [View all]

I got a raise of .3% and my Medicare increased from $104.90 to $110.00 after my 10% I have
withheld from my benefit for taxes I am getting exactly to the penny what I got last year. My Medicare supplement
insurance increased $11.65 a month so in 2017 I will take home $11.65 a month less than last year. Now the Republicans are
planning to cut benefits, that's making "Merica Great Again".
