No matter the amount of incoherent and garbage verbiage you spew, you can't change the facts, or the math.
But to answer your one question to me:
“What is a COLA deduction?”
There is none.
Yet.
But since I am one of those of the minority who does actually pay Federal income taxes, as opposed to those like you, who appear to merely subsist on them, I do think if you get a COLA increase, I should receive an equal amount of tax decrease.
If the “cost of living” has increased for you, on your taxpayer funded fixed income, where do you think the money comes for your raise?
Do you really think the taxes on my working pay and raises, if I even get one, is enough to pay for both MY OWN cost of living increases, and also yours?
I'm to be forced to swim ever harder upstream everyday, so you can keep comfortably floating downstream?
No thanks!
You are a fool.
