You obviously noticed the part about NO INCREASE in our SS payments but did you also notice a real hefty INCREASE in your Part B prescription drug cost? I did, and it really makes mecouzin wrote:Just got my SS benefit letter for 2010. It says: "Based on the Consumer Price Index (pub by Dept Labor), there was no rise in the cost of living (emphasis mine) during the past year, so your benefit will remain the same in 2010." Do you think the Fed government used the same folks as the climate warming scientists for their data? Bet Congress votes itself a pay raise based on the Cost of Living data...
; however, nobody cares.
