--------------- Social Security..................
For the first time in history, the new Congress will not allow an increase in the social security COLA (cost of living adjustment).
In fact, The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation predicts there may not be any COLA for the next three years.
However, the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium will be increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2010 and to $ 120.20 for the year 2011.
Send this to all seniors that you know. Remind them to not vote for any of the incumbent senators and congressmen in the 2010 and the 2012 elections that voted for this huge hit on seniors. BTW, the new Congress voted for a nice increase in pay for themselves.
Don says: Obama declared that he would not approve a new health care plan that added to the national deficit. One way to avoid that is to rob Peter (those of us on Medicare) to pay Paul (uninsured illegal aliens). Why wait for the election, write, call, and fax you congressmen and tell them that you intend vote them out of office. Give them fair warning, which they seem reluctant to give us.
PS: Also for all you military retirees, we don't get a COLA this year, maybe for the next few years. We have a double reason to clean House next year and take 1/3 of the Senators with them. Maybe they'll get the message.
