The 3% COLA adjustment I DID NOT GET this year on my Social Security check probably represents no more than the TIP a congressman/Senator would drop to a waiter after one of their Washington dinners, but to me it represents a meal at McDonalds about once a week that I cannot now afford.

What the Hell does “report as abusive” mean? What is abusive about wanting to know the voting records of the people we elected to represent us and who do not?

How do I get a list of those Senators/Congressmen/Women who DID NOT vote to cancel their most recent COLA raise in either 2009 or 2010?

How can Congress so readily deny us, who are on social security, a cost of living increase of maybe $10/mo. and yet accept a $4700 cost of living increase????

There is a very simple solution. One third of the Congress and part of the Senate is up for relection in 2010. Be as mad at voting time as youare now vote ever incumbant out, send he message that we have had enough.

Outrageous, that increases will be giving to our elected politicians in 2010, and bonuses will be given to AIG and retainer bonuses to financial institutions who brought America and the world to their knees. They reap the rewards, pass the cost of doing business down to the american tax payers by increased taxes on everything we buy and to the future generations yet to be born. AIG was a ponsi scheme larger than Bernard Madoff in respect to the mortgage insurance that was sold off as triple A Bonds. The culprits; Rating Agencies, Security and Exchange Commission and lack of proper regulations are being rewarded by passing the buck to the American public. To deny an increase in the Social Security benefits for 2010 just puts all of the above in it’s right perspective. Americans WAKE UP!

With all the executive orders of Bush that Obama has reversed, why didn’t he reverse this one?
