(22,651 posts)a lot of ss retired get 25-30k a year in checks or more. I think the CPI method and the current method are both bell curved, intended to keep persons above the poverty level.Should also raise the federal poverty level number for all persons. Currently its about $11,170 & $10,788 if 65 or older. That I feel is to low a number.
What I would like to see them do is extremely wealthy persons like the Romney adults shouldn't get a ss check at all unless they go broke or dip below some millions per year income.
They should raise the ss payin cap and amount paid in slightly.
I don't believe in not voting.
It is annoying any of Americas guaranteed benefits be on the current table at all without removing the ss check and medicade from the Romneys of America first.
