Did retirees get COLA raises since 2008? Just asking.
We’ve had COLA adjustments, but taxes and increased fees seem to have eaten mine up. I live about 25 miles from town, which wasn’t a bad idea in 2004 - but the gas prices have been a killer.
If they would cut government by 25%, I’d accept a 25% cut in my retirement...but democrats always want to cut the evil military while increasing payments to people they like. And FWIW, a little known fact is that military retirement is prepaid. A part of the defense budget in any given year is set aside to fund future retirement costs. That has been true since 1984.
