False would be the GOP bitching about no COLA raises WHEN IN FACT THEIR SHOULDN’T BE ANY ANYWAY!

Good Lord...

Sorry, I’m not for seeing the elderly year after year fall farther behind in their standard of living. Perhaps we can means test any COLA increase, but with more and more elderly living longer and longer, you’re sentencing many to eventual impoverishment by not allowing COLAs. So long as we have a Social Security system in the form that it’s in, COLAs need to be provided or we’re going to have a lot of elderly people eating cat food and/or going onto food stamps. I’m not elderly myself, but one day you will be and will have parents who are as well if you don’t already and you’ll understand what I’m talking about. I’m all for privatizing the thing, but since neither party wants that to happen we have to at least make the current system work for people.
