    Did you know that the average SS monthly benefit is $1,400? That’s why a stronger Social Security that reflects the real expenses seniors face is so important. Today’s announcement of a 2.8% COLA is good news – but let’s do better. #ExpandSocialSecuritypic.twitter.com/DBLsIwxw3r

        That is gross, with all deductions, it’s more like $1,000. Medicare does NOT pay for itself. Even with paying into Medicare for 45+ years, we still pay for Medicare monthly after we retire. It is NOT AN ENTITLEMENT!

        Shouldn't we be fighting to Fund Social Security before we expand it? When is the Government going to put back the money they stole from the fund?

        I beg your pardon. Mine is $1024.00. That is a big difference

        And doesn't the tax cut for the rich impact SS directly? Less paid in taxes, the less paid out in SS benefits.

        How about moving SS contribution base from $120,000 to $250,000?

        Social Security is a tax that denies the average person the RIGHT to plan their future by investing money without government interference. Be Red See Red #WalkAway #WWG1WGApic.twitter.com/WH7KIUt23l

        We need to do better: My sister is on SS Disability and also gets food stamps. Each COLA counts against her food stamps. So if SS goes up, food stamps go down. She ends up with almost zero net gain. I bet there are more people in the same boat.

        Stop giving it to "refugees" and other people that never paid into it. That would be a good start.

        Stop allowing illegal aliens to receive government welfare and free healthcare at our expense.
