> Rec'd this Notice the other day. I thought it was Very Humorous, but then, I've got a weird sense of humor. So do our "Pubic Officials"! Your Benefit Amount BENEFICIARY'S NAME : XXXXXXXXXXXX Your Social Security benefits are protected against inflation. By law, they increase when there Blah, blah, blah, etc. blah The above is my Wife/Cousin. She's not happy, either. >
is a rise in the cost of living. The government measures changes in the cost of living through the
Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI has not risen since the last cost-of-
living adjustment was determined in 2008. As a result, your benefits will not increase in 2011.

Screwed again. Do you know the formula these Einsteins use to calculate inflation? Is it based on the low cost of lap tops? Chinese-made sweat shirts? It can't be based on stuff you really need, like food, utilities and gas.
That one guy from Fox Business (? name) was sympathizing with Seniors this morning. Mentioned that the SS/CPI does NOT figure in Food, Fuel, utilities, tax increases (State, Local) and some others. It's pathetic, but it shows how out of touch Fed Gov is.
Every year cost of medicare goes up and I get less in my check. Euthanasia for those over 65 is the only salvation.
