If Energy prices are NOT used, would you please explain the 5.8% COLA for 2009?

What you apparently refuse to acknowledge is that federal COLA's are based upon each 3rd quarter CPI-W.

Prices have not gone up from that point in time, hence no COLA.

What did happen is those people got that price spike locked in for two years after gasoline prices went back down.

For reference while you explain that 5.8% COLA.
