Default 2014 raise in SS benefit....what raise?

Since the great announcement of the 1.5% increase effective 1/2014 I have received notices for my Medicare supplemental care premiums increasing 2.7%...my medicare part D increased 7.8%....my long term care premium increased 5.3%.

The net, again, is more being spent each year than the previous just based on these three elements. Not even attempting to account all the other increases in living costs.

1.5% increase in SS = = government not in touch with the real world, again, as in previous years as well

btk.
