Indeed, It seems like every time we go to the store, prices are up. It’s hitting people like us hard

THE SENIORS OF THIS NATION TRYING TO LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY ARE DYING GOD HELP US BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL.

Retired on SSA and military retirement. Both went up. I didn't get a raise, my landlord did!

Message to all members of congress—- DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Quit talking and make something happen! Seniors are hurting.

[Kathy-ub]

Trump & Vance 2024! We need to take the house & Senate! Vote RED!

[LWRC]

Social Security game seniors a 2.5% increase next year. In the mean time, real inflation is still above 15%!!! This is where the rubber meets the road!!!

I don't know where Capito received her economics class(s)... The Government expects us to balance our budget... but it's okay for Our Government not balance theirs? That's like my daughter complaining she's not getting enough for her allowance from a job she's never had. Can I write off how much money Our Government spends?

Libs told me it doesn't matter how you vote what matters is who counts the votes

Garbage seniors for Trump AZ 2024❤🎉 make old people great again😢

[joshwyse]

I've heard that some old people resort to shoplifting, which i never understood until recently. They spend their whole lives saving their money, then politicians and businesses steal its worth. So, I get it now. Good for them!!

[mikeblack]

From where I sit inflation is much closer to 50 percent than 20.

[donbabcock]

I saved for retirement when minimum wage was $3.35/hr, groceries were cheap, I saved $100 a month and now that same money won’t buy a week’s groceries let alone a month.

[VeronicaCawelti]

Those senators are swamp. Go by record, choose Rick Scott.

[jennifersebbo]

Boy... I cant wait for the election to be over. I live in Tx and i get ten times the amount of Colin Allred ads than i do Ted Cruz. Voted for Trump and Cruz on Wednesday.❤🎉😊

[riverspirit]

You inflation numbers do NOT INCLUDE TAXES AND INSURANCE..ADD THOSE..to a 40k/year retirement income..go ahead..add it because its REAL.
And your assumed budget numbers are wayyyy off

[williamadams]

i find it fascinating looking at all the GOP senators and MOST OF THEM HAVE VOTED AGAINST HELP SENIORS ON SOCIAL SECURITY BY GETTING BETTER COLA INCREASES, IN FACT MOST OF THEM WANT TO MAKE THE COLA WORSE OR GET RID OF IT ALTOGETHER.

[sspikeable]

Here in CA a roast used to cost 15-18 now 25-28. a pack of 10 burgers was 10 now 15 and lean hamburger is way up. everything is up except my taxable monthly disability check. my wife's working 2 jobs trying to make up for my loss of wages and increased inflation. we're screwed without Trump.

[Heartfullofgoldentempire]
