This is going to be an important test of just how powerful, or at least how dedicated to the welfare of their members, AARP and the Seniors’ lobby still is.
If they can’t push through a decent COLA in what’s supposed to became booming, full employment economy, there’s no way they can put up a decent fight on what’s coming their way with Social Security and Medicare insolvency, as well as the nastier provisions of Obamacare.
Well, I just want the Government to be honest and fair. I don’t want them to adjust anything that is not there but it seems lately (this administration) that they keep fudging the numbers to make them what will be best for them.
Not a member of AARP (and never will be) but they do have political power I admit. Booming, full employment economy, who are you kidding? We have 90 million folks looking for work and can’t get it and a large portion of those working part time. That is what the AARP should be pushing.
