WASHINGTON- President Barack Obama called on Congress Wednesday to approve $250 payments to more than 50 million seniors to make up for no increase in Social Security next year. The Social Security Administration is scheduled to announce Thursday that there will be no cost of living increase next year. By law, increases are pegged to inflation, which has been negative this year.

...here's a piece of the TAXES we're going to take from you over next year....now keep quiet about dying under Obamacare

[Never on my watch]

All this talk of seniors getting upset about the death panels must have gotten Obama nervous. So he is going to buy their silence and consent with $250 of our money.

What the hell are they going to do with $250. What a patronizing act.

Here oldies, buy yourself something nice before we kill you.

..you can always run to Burlington and buy a coat...*snicker*...before the check bounces

No cost of living increases at our jobs...instead paycuts or job losses....hmmm.

All voters are equal, but some voters are more equal.

(they’re afraid they’ll lose the senior vote over Obamacare, so here’s $250 to win back their loyalty)

I think my mom could buy 1 1/2 asthma inhalers with that! Whee!

Well we will slash hundreds of billions of dollars from your health care and make up for it with a $250 check to each of our beloved seniors. Reminds me of the Dutch buying Manhattan from the Indians for beads and trinkets.

Buy a nice headstone?

Well, I think that may buy a muffler for my pick ‘em up truck.

Or maybe a coffin upgrade?

[Merlinator]

What an insult. Obummer must think seniors are really really stupid.

[mefistofelerevised]

Obama is so generous, with other peoples money. Sure messiah, buy off those geezers with chump change.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Yeah! Here is some more free money for you, your unicorn that $hits skittles will be under the Christmas tree!

..it's pure C-Town politics as he knows it. Bribe some,then cut them down to size...deny it hit the next subject...pit one against another....bribe and start over again.
Promise after promise,fail and fail again......meanwhile grab all you can,cause a crisis,take advantage of the crisis you caused,promise the world.......deliver NOTHING.

If he really wanted to do something that makes sense he would rasie the Social Security death check for burials from $250 to $5,000 dollars. A $250 dollar check to bury a Social Security recipient is a joke.

[screaminsunshine]

The death panels will reduce the numbers.
