WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama called on Congress Wednesday to approve $250 payments to more than 50 million seniors to make up for no increase in Social Security next year.
The Social Security Administration is scheduled to announce Thursday that there will be no cost of living increase next year.
By law, increases are pegged to inflation, which has been negative this year.

Wow! That’ll drive up the cost of dog food!

Oh goodie. For that vast amount of money in this new economy they can buy a burger and fries, but will have to spring for the drink themselves.
Its only money. Worth less and less everyday.
50 million Seniors will now celebrate all night and sing songs of worship for dear Leader who has increased their rations from 5 to 4.
I want a pony.
Great. More welfare for old people.
Does being a senior in high school count?
Don’t look his “health care” plans for you, seniors, just look at the $250 he wants to send you.
I guess you end up buying votes one way or another.
It’s all because the cost of gasoline went down.
You know, us seniors drive all over the place. There needs to be a “Senior” basket for SS adjustments.
Anyway, Obama is just sucking up to the Olders to pass his health care bill. Can you say “bribery”? Of course you can.
If I have to take my walker to the White House and beat on the doors, I will because this guy is an absolute death sentence on anyone over 65.
I’m still gonna vote him out. He can’t buy me for such a small amount.
Wow Obozo. am I mistaken? Did you promise us all $250,000.00?
Oh, $250.00 cheesy ass.
His bride spent more than that on a head of cabbage.
“”If I have to take my walker to the White House and beat on the doors, I will because this guy is an absolute death sentence on anyone over 65.””
It still ain’t gonna make me love him - I don’t care what he does UNLESS he takes a dive off the roof of the White House.
He thinks this will make up for robbing funds from Medicare in his healthcare bill. What an ignoramus!
$20 a month for your soul.
I know this is going to sound cold, let me say I love the elderly, especially my gma. If inflation was negative who needs a cost of living increase? I am confused again.
“”Unfortunately this still works on the Greedy Old People (also known as the greatest generation) and New York Jews.””
Not much on FR offends me but this certainly does. After you’ve worked for 55 years, come back and talk to me about the “greedy old people” and the rest of your statement is totally uncalled for and offensive.
