As a retired person with disabilities I rely on my Social Security BENEFIT, that I paid in my entire working life. I struggle every day financially because the amount I receive along with my small federal pension just isn't sufficient to cover my expenses. I lost my home back in the early 2000's due to a serious illness. Though I managed to right my ship for a few years ultimately my illnesses peaked and I had to retire on disability. Then after a few years receiving disability benefits my federal pension benefit was cut by nearly $200 per month as I reached 62.5 years old when my pension was moved to regular retirement. Needless to say, that cut continues to cause me to become food insecure and unable to pay monthly bills. I depend on my local food bank and help from my best friend to at least survive. This is no way to live. I often wonder why I continue to...
So, I wish those dems good luck but I will not be holding my breath regarding this bill ever becoming law. Can you just imagine trump signing such a bill into law? Not gonna happen...
