If we keep boosting benefits unchecked, future generations will foot a heavier bill—are we really that generous with other people’s money?

Boosting benefits with the right CPI means more dignity and less stress in retirement. Tell me, why were we fine letting them budget in the Stone Age till now?

Using the elder CPI sounds fair, but I hope it doesn't explode the deficit overnight. Numbers matter—both for seniors and taxpayers.

Making sure Social Security keeps pace with seniors’ actual costs? That’s not just math, it’s moral math. Seniors deserve a raise, not a runaround.

More COLA hikes indexed to old folks’ expenses? Next thing you know, Social Security will be a bottomless pit. Someone's gotta pay the bill.

This bill aims to ease seniors’ wallet woes; still, balancing benefits and fiscal sanity is the real tightrope here.
