There's a LOT more to #3 on this list than the subject title indicates.  For instance, that involves food prices, gas & oil prices, clinic visits, and many many incidentals for many folks on SS.  If we don't do SOMETHING to fix the social security system right now, it won't last for another 10 years, in which case I hope I don't live another 10 years. 

Every year (usually every month) I give to LOCAL (only local) charities like Meals on Wheels, Feeding America Locally, Shriner's organizations (like buying tons of poppies on Veteran's Day, Flags for Fourth of July and yellow roses for Labor Day to sell and to put on graves of local soldiers who've perished for this once great country), local hospital charities and funding (but NEVER the Susan G. Komen foundation) and all of those donations come out of my private social security.  I used to give to the Ronald McDonald House organization for the local hospitals but I no longer do that because THEY no longer do that.  We also, for YEARS, saved the pop tops off of pop cans and when we got a baggie full of them we could take them to our local McDonald's and they would give them to the hospitals who are treating Children's cancers and the parents could stay overnight FREE at a local hotel with one bag of pop tops.  Now they no longer do that either.  McDonald's has gone rogue and I no longer support that place, my grandkids are not allowed to eat there EVER.  We just don't do that kind of "charity" for our enemies.

I sure wish they'd find another name for age benefits than "social" security.  Why on earth did they ever call it that??  It has nothing to do with social programs and certainly not socialist programs.  Actually, by now, it's probably the socialists who ARE funding the USA's social programs.  That thought sickens me.
