Meager’ 2.8% Social Security boost for 2026 sparks outcry(NY post)
GRA:This past week's CPI showed annual inflation of 3%,but the gov figures it out with another(money saving)method.
(NY post)Senior groups proposed a minimum 3% COLA increase yearly--regardless of CPI--because "seniors have higher costs than everyone else.''
(GRA) And less income to pay those costs.
As I said,by mid next year,the COLA should be wiped out by inflation from insurance,utilities,food etc
