Seniors will receive their largest increase in Social Security Benefits in 10 years. That's incredible news! Well, not exactly—though the official White House Twitter account might try to persuade you otherwise.
On Monday, the White House Twitter account announced that "seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden's leadership." However, the account quickly deleted the tweet after commenters pointed out the obvious: the increase wasn't due to Biden's leadership, but the rapid inflation occurring under his watch—which is massively increasing the cost of goods and services for American seniors, thus requiring under federal law that they receive larger checks.
