My mom called me on Saturday because she got her SS statement for 2026. Even with the 2.8% increase, her monthly payments are going down by $50 a month. Her Medicare premium and her taxes have eaten her increase and more. She’s losing $600 this year.

You squeeze the orange on Napoleon’s head, and the juice squirts out his ears.
