My folks are netting a whole $9 a month more after the increases in Medicare premiums. Heck, that's almost enough for 2 gallons of gas!

Guess it's better than losing $9, huh?

Medicare B premiums are going down by $5.20 per month for 2023. Will be $164.90 per month.

Tell your folks to recalculate.

Get a federal gov't job is your only hope.

The private sector is being sucked dry by the largest parasite in our Solar System...the U.S. federal government.

The government has been supporting social security, it has been in deficit for over a decade. Yes people pay-in but hardly enough to cover their payout, it's a socialist program.

You realize it is only that size because of the out of control inflation Biden and the Democrats created don't you?

Social security increases are not up to a political party to give. They are factored according to inflation. Higher inflation = higher increases. Higher inflation is not something to be proud of.

You realize that increase in payments does not even come close to making up for the actual added expenses seniors now have don't you?

Why is it Democrats haven't a clue how things actually work?

Are they thrilled about the extra $150 more than they are upset about the increase of $350 in monthly expenses due to Bidenflation?

Hopefully people realize $350 in extra expenses - $150 in extra income means they are still down $200 more than they were before. IOW - Worse off.

Math, it confuses Democrats.
