There's a tendency in our society for many people to disregard the needs of seniors until they become one themselves.

- Richard Nixon signed legislation providing for automatic annual cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs).

It doesn't really matter, but... under Nixon, each increase had to be approved by Congress. Ford changed it so that it went up automatically each year based on inflation, as determined by the BLS.

President Nixon shown relaxing at the "western White House," his estate in San Clemente, California-- July 9, 1972. It was during this vacation that he signed, on July 1st, the bill P.L. 92-336 which authorized a 20% cost-of-living allowance effective 9/72, and which established the procedures for issuing automatic COLAs each year, beginning in 1975

The GOP Nixon gave you Cola...


Beginning in 1975, Social Security started automatic annual cost-of-living allowances. The change was enacted by legislation that ties COLAs to the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-W).

COLA from the GOP does help...


The COLA is determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Department of Labor.


Their senior staff...


The GOP has had nothing to do with it, and neither does your claim of the "Biden administration" saying what you imagine inflation to "really" be.

The government has allowed big beef to consolidate until there's just a few, I think 5, beef packing houses. Pre Biden the price to process one cow was $250. Now it's $1000. The Biden isn't interested in doing anything about this blatant price gouging because it suits their climate agenda.


And I'm sure you have proof of your claims?

COLA from the GOP does help , it would help more if the Biden administration would say what inflation is really at.

The Democrats tried to pass several bills that would allow the President to declare a national state of emergency so that they could go after price gougers... the GOP shut them all down.
