Hopefully SS, but then again congress will raise Part B payment so they can afford a 7 percent raise for themselves. No matter what the Foggy Bottom Boys/Girls will get theirs.

Ya know what that means 3.5% from us plus 3.5% for the equals 7 % raise for politicians after all theyb work very hard, NOT!

[buggyone]

The Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index. It is not voted on by Congress.

[Figmo Bohica]

skip, you have it right on the raise for our hard working congress criminals and then to top it off, they will raise Part B by 3.6 percent. We should do just fine with less.

[Figmo Bohica]
