      I just listened to the phone video of Trump talking about Entitlements on one of your videos of another persons video . Entitlements aren't only Social Security and Medicare. Actually they aren't even entitlements. Trump said there are many ways to cut entitlements, which could mean Unemployment Benefits, Welfare, SNAP and so on. I have never heard Trump say he was going to cut Social Security and/or Medicare. I've heard him always say he wouldn't touch Social Security and Medicare just as he did during his first term. This all sounds like another democrat fraud thing to me. How do we even know that was Trump on the phone with those out there trying to sound just like Trump. I will believe he said or meant Social Security and Medicare when I actually see his mouth muttering those words. Just like the audio Eric Swalwell played in Congress for the Hurr testimony with Trump slurring his words and such; I believe that was tampered with as well.

I don't get what the government says ppl on SS gets, I get much lower than that!. Biden needs to quit giving our countries money to Ukraine and also quit giving them the military equipment that they obviously don't use. Sanders isn't going to agree with Biden on taxing ppl who makes $400,00 and up. There's really not that many ppl in the $400,00 range. Sure If they agreed on it the middle & lower class ppl will feel the blunt of it somehow anyway!. If Sanders can pull it off then kudoes to him.

    Dave what the senior citizens in usa have to endure as a result of our governments refusal to address ss is rediculis.
    We have worked all of our lives to retire in poverty. For 20 years these greedy multi billion dollar businesses have donated to the politicain that do their bidding when the issue of minimum wage increases came up. If they had voted to increase the minimum wage to keep in line with inflation over the years seniors be in a much better possition now.
    If they had adjusted to cola to ss to keep it in line with inflation we would be in better shape right now. Our families would need to take money from their budget to help their parents at the expence of our grandchildren.
    And now we hear the same lip service from the likes of Lindsey Graham who by the way has been one of the most vocal voices against both minimum wage and ss reform every time it come up in congress.
    This so called man is one of the most self serving politicains in washington ...he is nothing more then a puppet that what ever lobbist group needs some thing they slap down money pull lindseys strings and he dances to their tune.
    What the politicains need to realize is millions of seniors cant make ends meet. Millions of their families cant make ends meet as a result of helping their parents. They are the reason the usa is going down the drain

    I have to wonder if this weren't an election year with things looking dire for the Democratic party if we'd even be hearing about this now. As far as the promise about not raising taxes, they might decide to play the "it's not federal INCOME tax, it's SS" card. I agree that the payroll cap should be eliminated, but how you collect from those whose wealth isn't tied to a paycheck, I have no idea. Because my husband and I are both on SS, that additional $400/month would be significant in our household. That amount would cover an outpatient surg3ery copay. We could afford healthier food choices. And if we're spending more, everyone higher up the chain benefits.

If not we would be hurting to buy Food, they need to keep helping us Monthly. With everything going up Gas, Food price's are rising constantly. Everytime they give the Recipient's (SS) a Raise they raise the Cost of Medicare Premium. So we really don't get much of a raise, cause it's taken in our Premium. We need more of the Stimulus Assistance, to be able to get us through these trying time's. Thank U

    The raise would be nice, but my husband and I get food stamps and extra help with SOME of our meds, we would lose all that because we would make to much money. Right now we barely survive on $1940 a month we are $20 below the amount allowed to get $48 in FS a month for 2 people, when we got COLA our landlord raised the rent. With the raise in SSDI, SS ect.the amount of income allowed needs to go up some too.
