  Weird that would weaken it since the republican party wants to get rid of it altogether.

    You have a cite for that? I have never heard Trump wants to end social security.

      So let’s see… “Not keeping up with inflation” vs “reducing it even further”…

      You lack critical thinking skills.

  Why are the actions of congress Biden’s fault and not congress’? The President does not set policy. He can only ask congress to send him a Bill and decide whethe or not to sign it into law.

  We need to get better at holding the correct people accountable for our problems if we ever expect anything to get done.

    Biden’s policies are what caused inflation to sky rocket. He is the one who should be blamed.

      Biden’s policies ≠ law.

      Law = law.

      Biden does not have a metaphorical “raise/lower inflation” lever that he can just manipulate as he sees fit. He’s just the figurehead you don’t like him, so he’s your scapegoat. Most of the inflation you see today stems from supply chain crises around the world which showed businesses they can just raise prices and people will pay them.

      Much of the inflation you see today isn’t actual inflation. It’s price-gouging.

  Trolls will say absolutely anything. It’s MAGAs that want to completely eliminate social security.

    Can you show where Trump has ever said that? I can’t find that anywhere.
