| [NBC] Social Security recipients struggling with higher inflation are likely to get a major boost in their monthly benefits starting next year.

| #4 SUGGESTION: Rescind the recent 21+ % Congressional Pay Raise and issue them the same COLA citizens get each year here after. NN2N1, are you looking for being perpetually audited for even suggesting such an egregious affront to our betters? |

| #3 Note: #1 & #2 both point out the fallacy of the COLA. SUGGESTION: Rescind the recent 21+ % Congressional Pay Raise and issue them the same COLA citizens get each year here after. |
