what is it for us SS recipients? I forgot what it was after seeing how much Medicare went up, and how many of our services in MA were cancelled or jacked up in price... including now deductibles. I just knew there was no way we were going to end up with a spendable increase, heck... I knew we wouldn't even break even!

Americans, as a whole, have been conditioned for 2 centuries to just accept things the way they are, thanks to the millionaires, billionaires, and all their mouthpieces. God save us if we Americans actually held together as a unit and mass demonstrated, like they do in France and other countries. Yea, America screws us over every chance it gets, but we accept it all, sight unseen.
