In this post, we’ll answer the question: “Will there be a 2023 Social Security Increase?”
While it’s still too early to know for sure, VA Claims Insider’s revised estimate (as of May 11, 2022) is a 2023 COLA increase of 8.9%.
Okay, let’s explore how we got to the revised number.
With soaring inflation in the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve plans to institute a series of 6 rate hikes this year (likely a quarter to half point each), which will increase the federal funds rate to 1.9% by year end, slowing consumer spending and fighting inflation.
“The Federal Reserve aims to keep inflation around 2% each year. It’s primary mechanism to do so is to expand or contract the U.S. economy through interest rates. Reducing interest rates acts as a gas pedal while increasing interest rates acts as a brake. Right now, the Fed needs to get inflation under control, and the best way to do that is to shrink the economy and reduce consumer spending on goods and service. Thus, it’s time to pump the brake.”

Overall, the fed rate hikes are too little too late in our opinion, and thus, with soaring inflation in the economy, we estimate a massive 8.9% 2023 COLA increase.

Increases today simply shorten the time before we see cuts once revenue doesn't cover expenditures

On the one hand, this is good. Cost of Living HAS gone way up due to inflation. This COLA adjustment is necessary to.maintaim standard of living.
On the other hand, this is doubly bad. First, this helps to let those responsible for the inflation of the hook, as it makes voters unaware or unaffected (or less aware / less affected) of what is being down to them. Second, the single largest factor in the inflation is massive government handouts. Solving the inflation caused by government overspending by... spending more... Well, that just doesn't work.

The current method of determining Cost of Living isn't exactly the most honest method available and it ignores things like housing cost, which would mean an inflation rate at least double what they claim now. COLA's are just there to throw the prol's a bone and much of it is tied to either contributed funds like Social Security that I paid for 48 years and still contribute to even though I drawing it, or retirements/VA that are contractual.
