I live on social security disability, about 1100$ a month.
A combo meal at McDonald’s is 12$.
2 combo meals a day from a fast food restaurant would completely wipe out my budget. No money for rent. No phone bill. No water or electric money. No money for garbage removal. The idea of a car is laughable. There wouldn’t even be enough for a bus pass.
It’s been a real struggle. After all the inflation hikes of 2022, they only raised my payments 50$ a month.
They simply don’t care about the people voting for them more than the companies bankrolling their campaigns that earn their paychecks. It’s that simple.
