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

Just because big business is gouging us as usual, I don't feel the government should take the tax payers money to compensate us for their greed.
