Reply #3: The economy is in ruins, so of course the people who need help most [View All]

don't get a COLA. But I'm sure they gave themselves raises in DC this year, didn't they? Only Executives and politicians deserve raises, apparently. :grr:

They have already rigged the system so that official measure of the cost of living is so artificially low that it's below poverty. It's starvation level.

So now, while costs are going up in this fucked up economy, everything is getting more expensive, and nobody's family has any buffer left anymore to help a family member in a bad spot because of so much long term unemployment, they refuse to increase the COLA Again!

:wtf:

Families are STARVING out here! Don't they Care? Every year it becomes harder and harder to live on that monthly check because expenses go up, the check doesn't!

Now some families that used to be able to help are instead turning to their elderly relatives and disabled relatives for help because they are the only ones with guaranteed income, as little as it is.

And in Washington D.C. our politicians fiddle while America burns... :cry:
