Friends who get SS, were initially happy about 5.9 increase, now most lower income r angry. Many who qualified for programs to pay their medicare premiums, no longer qualifies...get too much money...even one dollar too much. Others have seen drastic cut in food stamps, right as food prices r skyrocketing, while others saw huge rent increases. Wonder if they will bother to turn up in '22. Not a single friend, working or on SS, gave/gives a rat's rear about infrastructure. Economy, voting rights, and right to choose, topped/top their lists of concerns
