How are seniors expected to keep up?

(In Trump’s America, if you’re not a billionaire, they don’t care whether you can or not)

With a 3.6% COLA for 2027, Social Security retirement benefit checks will go up by $75 per month, on average, the agency said.

Since Trump took office, families have had to spend an average of $4,200 more just to afford the basics. That includes:
🔺 $833 more on rent and housing costs
🔺 $699 more on gas

People can't keep up, prices are soaring, and Republicans are doubling down on the very same policies driving them up.

The Consumer Price Index rose 3.7 percent in September from a year earlier, faster than a month earlier, as gas prices surged 34 percent.

Republicans can spew whatever slogans they like, but where they choose to spend money doesn’t lie.

Some states deliver meals to Medicaid patients that address their dietary needs. Evidence shows it aids recovery and saves healthcare costs, but federal budget cuts may lead some states to cancel it.

When diesel prices go up, so does the cost of getting your food from the farm to your supermarket aisle.

Your grocery run was supposed to be cheaper.

Trump’s tariffs made sure it wasn’t.

When Republicans made the biggest cut to health care in American history, they turned off a major source of funding for community hospitals.

Not only have people lost their health care coverage, they could be losing their nearest hospital.
