I did my financial review and budget for the new year. We’re better than OK, I’m pleased to report. However, that’s in part to a failing U.S. economic system that rewards old people (who VOTE) with a Social Security cost-of-living increase, while the poor (many of whom are DISENFRANCHISED) get poorer. In fact, my wife and I, who worked a combined 100 years and contributed to Social Security all those years and are thus entitled to benefits, now receive 50% more in benefits than the “poverty level” for a WORKING family of four. Is that an unfair system or what?
