<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1910897, member: 30574&quot;]Ok, let&#039;s talk it through, so what exactly are you saying about SS.&nbsp; Are you saying it is not adjusted for inflation?&nbsp; That would be false and you would will incorrect. Now your you example&nbsp; of trying to have to explain it to folks on SS, that is just not a valid argument and means nothing.&nbsp; Not only do I think that was a lame, pitiful, attempt,&nbsp; I don&#039;t even think it is true.&nbsp; I know my Dad full understands his SS is inflation adjusted and I think many others do also.&nbsp; &nbsp; For the subset that do not understand, think of it this way, Nicolaus Copernicus was not able to convince everyone that the earth resolved around the sun but it did not make it not true.&nbsp; I got to tell you, this is the second time that I have noticed that you don&#039;t think much about the intelligence of other folks. I assure you my opinion of the US people is much higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I think what you were actually saying is, SS does not pay enough for folks to even pay for the most basic needs.&nbsp; Of course I totally agree with this, is a huge problem, but it has nothing to do with inflation. Whew.... you are off to another bad day already.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You second point is so ridiculous I would like to laugh at it, but because it is a serious problem I will not,&nbsp; For the folks living Paycheck to Paycheck, they are in a bad way, but since there is no savings, there is NOTHING to deflate. The money comes in and out so fast inflation doesn&#039;t touch them.&nbsp; It is that simple.&nbsp; Inflation is just not their problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now by the end of you post you are just ranting with absolutely no content.&nbsp; It seems you are saying tragedies happen that cost a lot of money and really puts a strain on folks and life is real hard.&nbsp; YES that is true, but we are talking about inflation. It is very sad,&nbsp; almost everyone including myself has faced these issues, but they simply do not have anything to do with inflation. A four year old would understand when hurricane Sandy devesated NJ it was horrible freak of nature that tore their lives apart, NOT INFLATION.</p><p><br /></p><p>To summarize, you have brought out some very sad and very challangeing issues in if life, listed them out and said SEE I told you inflation was bad with no explanion or logic at all.&nbsp; Absolutely Pathetic.........</p><p><br /></p><p>Well maybe you&#039;ll be right tommorow, but CERTAINLY NOT TODAY[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
