My first encounter with the new tax bill.

I am a retired teacher and retired from the State of CT where teachers don't get SS, not even from their deceased husband's SS. Anyway, today I checked my banking account and saw that my January, 2018 pension has been deposited into my checking account. It is now $15 LESS per month than it was in 2017. Thank you, Mr. Trump, Mr. Ryan, Mr. McConnell and repukes for that wonderful new tax cut bill "that will help the middle class." BULLS**T! I guess the millionaires and billionaires need some of my pension more than I need it.

5. i thing you need to blame CT on this one
I also live in CT. The state has a huge deficit of 210 million and 40% of state spending is for retired state workers. They are cutting back on all state programs. If you know anyone on food stamps the state cut $2.00 a month off of them. The state can't sustain paying all the pensions. I know they changed my son's pension, he is pissed.

I don't think the "tax reform" takes effect until February so maybe you check will change. SS is federal, when I'm 62 I will be taking my husband's SS until I am 65 then taking my SS.

You need to check out your deceased husband's SS, I think you do get it.

It’ll be interesting to see if that killed it, but since DUmmies don’t read the replies, I’m thinking we’ll see a lot of misplaced outrage they can take into the public with them, so others can laugh at them, too!

burnbaby(?????)  was right about the tax reform not being responsible for the $15.  But, as far as SSI is concerned, they deduct 60% of the teachers pension from their spousal SSI and. it wouldn't take much pension to zero out her SSI.  That said, just like sexuality, if she feels she is a victim then she has a right to be a victim.

Teachers got a great deal by getting out of SS when they did. Galveston Texas took the same option and their retirement is huge.

It’s just funny to me how quick the DUmmies are to jump and blame. A couple of weeks ago after the FCC got rid of net neutrality a couple DUmmies were asking other DUmmies if their ISP was running slow ...

and when the check increases due to the Trump tax cut, startan61 won't have the decency to admit she was wrong.
