Social Security Benefits Increase a Whopping $24 a Month

WASHINGTON -Social Security benefits for nearly 50 million people will rise 2.3 percent starting in January, the smallest increase in four years. The typical retiree will face the challenge of using the extra $24 to cover higher costs for everything from gasoline and food to medical care.

The new cost-of-living figure announced Wednesday by the Social Security Administration means the typical retired worker's benefit check will go from $1,055 per month to $1,079.

Wow!!! This one must really pain the Chimp Abomination. No doubt Bush wipes his Cheney each day using $50 bills. However the compassionately conservative douche bags in the Bush Abomination are going to sacrifice half of one of those bills for each Social Security recipient in the country.

Despite her lifelong belief in and support for the Repignofascist Party, I'm really glad my mother is no longer around to have to reap the benefits of Social Security under the compassionately conservative family values folks in the Bush Abomination.

Wake up, sheeple.
