Because this makes sense, it will probably never happen, but just once, if they lifted the cap, it would make the system work as it was designed. Can you imagine how much life could change for people who rely solely on Social Security to get by?
The troller in chief gets trolled.
The Iranians are playing this brainsick dullard like a yo-yo.
What’s up with Bluesky?
