On top of the news SS, Military Retirees, will get NO COLA raise in 2016. We are both.

We saw our co-pays jump this year. Half our 1.3% COLA went to Medicare, and higher co-pays for meds. Along with food prices. Beef has become a RARE, RATIONED item. So have a lot of other food items, if it is not on sale and have a coupon those high priced foods don't get bought.

This is the 0'bama DEPRESSION era for those of us on fixed incomes. But congress will give themselves a big fat pay raise, to go with their first class traveling, hotels, meals, hair cuts, you name it.

Time for TERM LIMITS.

I hear ya.

I think it’s part of the big change of America going from a predominantly free enterprise system to a socialist/fascist system.

Add to that the drag of millions of immigrants, legal and illegal, pouring in and going on welfare and utilizing all kinds of gov’t services.
