There will not be a Social Security raise in 2016. The raise won’t go to the people who worked and paid into the fund, which the federal government abused many times by borrowing from it and never repaying it.

What’s ironic is politicians are using lower gasoline costs as a justification. Did we get a big raise when prices at the pump were nearly $4 a gallon? They also say the price of food has gone down. The price of meat, eggs and milk has not gone down in my neighborhood.
