Heck Tom I'm not diverting. If it wasn't for the bipartisan screwing we're all getting, SS would be fine and Obama could've given more COLA increases.

Bullshit.

It was your boy Bush that tried to privatize Social Security, and your boy Ryan that is pushing the voucherize Medicare.

I wish they would've succeeded. The looting of SS is shameful and shows how thick 'we' all really are.

BTW COLA was already computed in an unfair way for seniors. This is just another way for them to fall behind.

TJ, on a perhaps related note I just got one of these: https://armynavystorecloseouts.com/m...sling-bag.html that includes frt! It's a heck of a deal, very good quality.

I think it's that way for everyone.

The stuff you need to live always goes up by way more than what the government says the inflation rate is. But then crap that you can do without goes down, so I guess the way thy figure inflation is, "Your Health Care and Groceries went up 10%, but you can by a 72 inch High Definition TV for 10% less, so it's a wash".
