Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

Wow! Another raise for Social Security! I'd forgotten what a COLA is, since Texas retired teachers have not had one since 2001. Retired teachers cannot receive Social Security even if they paid into it long enough to qualify. And we still have to pay the increased Medicare costs.

Maybe we can quit eating -- that ought to just about pay for the Medicare.
