The net, again, is more being spent each year than the previous just based on these three elements. Not even attempting to account all the other increases in living costs.

1.5% increase in SS = = government not in touch with the real world, again, as in previous years as well

Never have been able to understand why anyone would be irritated by a small increase in Social Security benefits instead of being thankful that Social Security exists and significantly benefits all of us at retirement age.
