President Barack Obama Backs Expanding Social Security

55. Sadly it often is not

I'm one of them as are many women, as they have likely never earned what a man does hence a lower SS benefit tends to be the reality.

I'm living on less that $1,000/month and have been doing so for a long time. No COLA's doesn't help and getting hit with some big unexpected expenses requiring one to take out large loans is pure misery as they take forever to pay back with such a low income.

You cannot always plan no matter how hard you think you've got it all figured out in life as things happen, like getting hit with a serious disability out of the blue.

Big words they are indeed Pres. Obama, but nothing to see here is my take on it so move right along and just forget it. There is nothing "dignified" about any of this and no, an extra $20 a month isn't going to do much around here.
