evidence: For all who are complaining I say, don’t accept the increase. I remember when Veterans didn’t receive an increase at all so, I am grateful to President Biden for putting this in place. Companies are increasing prices, not Biden. [...] Food and gas have SKYROCKETED!!! What happened to the congressional report that gas prices above $2.00 per gal at the pump adversely affects the US Economy? [...] The actual cost of living has increased far more than the inflation numbers year after year since Biden has bean in office thanks to his energy policies. So I dont even see this as breaking even. It’s falling a bit short.
