Thanks for posting... I didn’t see the other post.

You were very considerate to ask to have your post removed.

2009 cost of living adjustment of Social Security recipients...

Yes, but I just helped my grandparents try to sort out what the best plan for them is in regards to Medicare/Care Improvement Plus. They will now be receiving LESS each month than they were last year because their costs for these programs have skyrocketed this year.

Man, are we the people the ultimate suckers or what?

You can't even turn on the news anymore without hearing thousands more laid off, hours cut, or positions eliminated, and these government criminals give themselves a pay raise.

The corrupt have all but driven this country into a deep financial abyss, and they turn around and award themselves fat pay raises.

I swear, these criminals want the wheels to come off.

It was just a matter of time until Congress got a bail out.
