47. Refusing to give seniors a cost of living wage which they are
entitled to for three years. That is a cut.

By comparison, Congress has received THEIR cost of living raises for two of the past four years.

So while they deny the poorest Americans their raises, they themselves forgot to vote to deny themselves their Cost of living wage when they thought no one was watching.

If it's a raise when you get it, it's a cut when you don't.

Wall St. CEOs have awarded them huge bonuses while poor elderly Americans have their benefits cut.

What a great country. And people are actually defending this? No wonder they do it, they know they can get away with it. Unlike France, Greece, Iceland and other places where the people still believe that it is their country too, that it doesn't just belong to the wealthy, corrupt, Wall St. crowd and their employees in Congress.
