This Isn't Something To Crow About

     Congresswoman Susan Wild, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, is taking credit for a $300 million increase in Social Security's appropriation included in the House of Representatives bill. 
     While the Congresswoman's efforts are appreciated, the $300 million isn't enough to keep up with inflation much less to improve service and almost certainly the Congresswoman had nothing to do with it. She's in her first term in the House of Representatives and is not on the Appropriations Committee.

I will take $300 Million over not having $300 Million every day.

“Congresswoman Susan Wild went to bat for them, and with the help of 100 other co-signers, secured $300 million for the Social Security Administration in next year's budget “

Lolololol

But the Congresswoman is right. Without those 100 co-sponsors, this appropriation may not have been included in the bill. As reps for social security claimants, we need to applaud every Congressperson and US Senator who stands up for social security.
