<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gilbert, post: 2183065, member: 73104&quot;]I am fairly certain that if inflation is negative SS does not reduce monthly payments.&nbsp; Most pensions that I am aware of do not decrease monthly annuity payments should prices decline, mine included.&nbsp; You can also cherry pick your basket of items when determining inflation but my reality this past year has been 16% increase in our food expenditure, 12% increase in property taxes, 21% increase in our vehicle insurance, 17% increase in home owners insurance, teeth cleaning at the dentist increase 25%.&nbsp; I could go on but don&#039;t want to bore you.&nbsp; Our reality is that our cost of living has increased dramatically this past year, all the while the government says it hasn&#039;t.&nbsp; Truth be told, more people every day are realizing what a shame our government really is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
