SNAP now? But Social Security Admin retirees checks later?

#3 Get out the vote money.

State of California is sending out their own voter drive money in about a week. Up to approx $1000. They call it inflation relief checks. Perfect example of arsonist firefighter.

National average for gas in the US today is $3.80. In San Diego we have an average of $6.32 today. So we are paying $2.50 above national average right now. My 36 gallon tank will cost $90 more to fill than the rest of the country. I fill every 1.5 weeks or so. So that’s approximately 34 fills a year.

You do the math, 34 fills at $90 more per fill.

Thank you for my inflation check sir. May I have another?

#4 Agree with #1. Bet we won't see a 12.5% increase in our Social Security checks.

#6 re SSecurity

SNAP COLA is based on Food Prices and goes by the fiscal year

SSec COLA is based on all index number and based on the calendar year - last year was 5.9% next year probably be about 9% or so.
