I found the article left a lot to be desired in that it lack a coherent point of view. The view is that somehow seniors were getting a great deal while younger people were suffering due to loss of income. A 1.5% to 1.7% increase is not a lot considering that most seniors SS is there only source of income as I have read in AARP magazine many times.

Younger people can get another job which is not an option for some seniors. Some younger people feel SS won't be there at all when they reach retirement and are paying for senior SS benefits just like we did for the seniors before us. I agree there is a financial crunch the middle class is going through, but to imply that seniors have the better end of the stick is simply not true. We received a 3.6% increase last year that was mostly eaten up by increase in premiums.

This is a gray situation that is being painted as black and white.
