Go Joementum!

My 75 year old husband has a myraid of health issues . For him to contract this, he is as good as dead.

I am shy of 68, in good health, but not guaranteed that if I come down with this, I too could die.

Damn right, Joe Biden knows that SS payments need to be boosted .

Do 10 deep breathing exercises after getting up in morning and before going to bed.
This virus attacks lungs and your chances of surviving improve with stronger lungs.

Non smoker all my life, exercise, eat right.

Every time my Social Security goes up,
my Section 8 rent goes up a comparable amount.

My rent is 'pegged' to my income,
so rent doesn't change unless my income changes.

And prices,rent and cost of living go up and up..and what we have dissapears faster and faster.

thru boomers.

a 10K grant should be for all with medical debt from catastrophic illness, student loan debt (without regard to income) and for everyone else with income below some cut off, 75K maybe. it is important that folks who served or managed to get going with out school debt, and aren't super rich yet, get the money too.

RESIST!

If the Repubs propose giving the airline industry 500 BILLION, and huge bailouts to other corporations, then we can afford more than this proposed token amount to SSI beneficiaries....Upwards of TWO TRILLION dollars should do more than bail out corporations once again......We've seen this before.......

We can’t just do something for seniors only. Must do something for all people young and old!

the prices for my one TV with HBO, Showtime, and DVR, plus internet, 30%. I spent over an hour trying to get someone on the phone who would reduce that increase. I told them my Social Security check only went up 1.6%. How could they justify a 30% increase? One of the people that I first spoke to tried to tell me I didn't know how to figure the percentage increase. Another agent told me that I was getting a "deal" because my increased price was still a reduction from their normal price.

When all this over, I'm going to get my son to set me up without cable TV. Fuck these guys.

30 bucks a month and they gave a promise of no commercials.......

My friends in Europe tell me they pay 30 bucks a month for their cell phone, and 30 bucks a month for high speed internet. Their cable TV with more channels than we have is about 40 a month. And, their High Speed internet is a much higher speed than ours.....

It would help us, certainly. However, I'm OK with my current benefits. I realize, though, that such an increase would be a life-saver for others on Social Security who do not have other sources of income. For that reason, I strongly support this increase.

There's no reason why people like Mitt Romney, Donald Trump and others quite wealthy in their golden years need a ss check.

For any coming scarcity. I could buy a bottle of disinfectant now the one I have is dissapearing fast.

I have helped people qualify for disability, Medi-Cal (Calif's version of Medicaide) and other state/govt benefits. If one goes over a certain percentage of the poverty level, one loses the benefits. With some persons receiving $200.00 more in a monthly check, this could kick them off of certain benefits because their income becomes too high. So for some, this would hurt greatly and not help.

If at this time during the pandemic, the funds were called something else and not tied to Social Security but were intended as part of the Medicaide program, I think this might be the way to go. Funds could be designated to be used for things that help prevent the spread of disease. It could be paid through Social Security, but marked as a special payment for limited conditions at this time.

Just a thought.
