For the first time in history, the Democratic Congress will not allow a cost of living adjustment ("COLA") in Social Security retirement payments in 2010.
In fact, The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation predicts there may not be any COLA for the next three years. However, the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium will be increased from the 2009 premium amount of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2010, and to $120.20 for the year 2011.
At the same time, Congress voted itself raises in the dead of night earlier this year. And bonuses were approved for their staff members, pages, etc.) Maybe we should make a fuss until they pay them back and refuse to take any more. They are way overpaid as it is.
These bums all deserve to be thrown out.
