This cola should be linked to congress’ raises, and other government employees. just saying.
The GOP should campaign on a new policy:
All government employees (including politicians) subject to same changes as SS.
If they raise our retirement age, all state/local/federal workers are subjected to the same later age.
If they cut COLAs, government workers get no COLA on their salaries or pensions.
When they raise SS/Medicare taxes, gov’t employees must contribute more to their own retirements.
If they implement means testing, higher pensioned gov’t retirees get cut, too.
