This up and coming election year has made Social Security an important issue on the agenda. As of now, the “direct government” has declared that more than 58 million Social Security recipients will go through another year without an increase in their monthly benefits. This would mark the second year in row without an increase in benefits since the installment of automatic adjustments for inflation, which is also known as the cost-of-living adjustments. Since Social Security is the primary source of income for many retirees, lobbyists will use this issue to sway the public to vote Democrat or Republican depending on what their goals are in order to ensure Social Security recipients receive proper benefits.
