I’m sorry ..on another post I said the Cola increase was 7%, it was actually 5.8%.
Also I agree with the assestment re Children. Most of the soon to be retired, gave up evrything for the children. Most parents working two jobs to make them as comfortable as possible. Nice to know that now their parents are considered a burden and should just get out of the way.
I was wrong about the 7.8,,knew it was big but your number sounds right. It sort of shocked me.
