Social security hasn’t been made solvent, the deficit hasn’t been addressed and is still rising and we get this. The comments by Sen Warren are ridiculous.
These Democrats must be taking lessons from Trump on pandering to Americans and misleading them.
Seniors are getting what the law provides. If you don’t like the law, change it and pay for the changes.
Democratic senators propose $200 benefit boost
A group of Democratic senators are now proposing the Social Security Emergency Inflation Relief Act. This proposed bill would give all Social Security and Veteran Affairs benefits a $200 increase per month for six months…
The Social Security Emergency Inflation Relief Act is being backed by a number of Democratic senators including, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Alex Padilla of California, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Angela Alsobrooks and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tina Smith of Minnesota, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer of New York, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Peter Welch of Vermont.
In a post on social media platform X following the announcement of the 2026 COLA increase, Sen. Elizabeth Warren wrote the following: “Donald Trump is building a $300 million luxury ballroom and sending $40 BILLION to Argentina. But when the cost of groceries, health care, utilities — just about everything — is skyrocketing, America’s seniors only get another $56 a month. That’s not enough in Trump’s economy.”
Additionally in a statement, Warren also referred to the proposed bill as an “emergency lifeline for seniors struggling to afford Trump’s tariffs and rising inflation.”
“The senators’ proposal to add $200 per month to Social Security payments — would cost approximately $90 billion and advance Social Security’s trust fund insolvency dates by about two months,” Emerson Sprick, director of retirement and labor policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center explained. “That estimate does not include the increases to railroad retirement or veterans benefits.”

just another vote buying scheme–why am I not surprised after the student loan fiasco and so many others like the $2,000 Trump wants to send from tariff income—-Washington Post keeps up the drum beat on the wasteful spending at the VA–a true scandal with billions wasted.
