$21.50 MORE per month dragged out of your SS check. That comes to an increase of 11.6% while the SS increase will be no doubt around 2.5%. Then comes the massive ACA subsidy cut (up for that one ACA REPUBLICANS?) on Jan 1st of 2026.

Meanwhile millionaires and billionaires once again make out like fucking bandits and everyone else gets screwed...AGAIN.
