I love this statement in the second paragraph:

By law, increases are pegged to inflation, which has been negative this year.

Don't worry, Grandma and Grandpa, that won't be a problem for very long.

The $250 I got is better than nothing. Given how the government hides inflation, I'm not looking for the SS COLA to keep up with the coming real inflation.

Say it ain't so, Joe - the Obama Administration is hiding inflation? Or is it DE-flation?

So then, the CPI is bogus, and can't be trusted...or any other gubbermint statistic.

Either way, I'm going write him a letter and give him a peace <sic> of my mind!
