I can’t believe there will be no increase in SSAN this year. The measly increase barely covered the accompanying increase in Medicare as it was. So, in effect, everyone on SSAN will get a DECREASE this year when Medicare gets increased. How they can justify no increase, when food costs have increased by about three times what used to be the normal...then add other skyrocketing increases, like electricity, rent, etc. I think avoiding a SSAN increase was factored in as a plus factor when TPTB finagled oil prices lower to bring down Russia’s economy. And, of course, Putin is one upping and outsmarting Obummer by helping Syria so he can get in on controlling the price of oil in the middle east...Saudis must be sweating blood.
I read that that had happened only 3 times and each time it happened was under Obamas watch. This time they are blaming it on low gas prices but what were the gas prices in 2010 and 2011? Bunch of Effing LIARS
