Default Government overspends in wrong areas

I dont understand why government does anything anymore. For years there's no COLA then comes a whopper. .
Some folks eek by on $300 a month SS and rely on the largesse of relatives or neighborhood groups like Elks or moose lodge. The ones who get $4500 a month SS PAYMENTS MAKE ME QUESTION THE WHOLE SHEBANG. I know a gal whose husband passed and she had infant twins, and collects $1500 a month + 1500 +1500 survivor benefits. All i got when my husband passed was $225 one -time SS check SINCE I WAS COLLECTING MY OWN SS benefit.
Where is the logic in no benefits and. Overpaying on others ?
