BOCA RATON, Fla. – Seniors prepared to cut back on everything from food to charitable donations to whiskey as word spread Monday that they will have to wait until at least 2012 to see their Social Security checks increased.
The government is expected to announce this week that more than 58 million Social Security recipients will go through a second straight year without an increase in monthly benefits. This year was the first without an increase since automatic adjustments for inflation started in 1975.
*What's your response to this? My View would be that considering everything else that is going on in America with the economy & such, is it any surprise to any of us.
You all know my feelings on the so called "Shovel Ready" crap, well this just adds to it. I am getting the feeling from all around that things AREN'T getting any better, like some would have us think. More and more jobs are getting cut, case in point:
CINCINNATI -- Big cuts are looming for the Cincinnati Fire Department. WLWT has learned that the city wants to slice almost $11 million from the fire budget in the weeks ahead.
Having already absorbed several million dollars worth of reductions, rank-and-file firefighters are worried that deep personnel cuts will arrive before the holidays.
This is in Cincinnati, but it could/will be us soon. Is it just me, of what the H--- is going on? Wake UP AMERICA, and Keep your eye's and ear's open as to how OUR future progress is going....
