Recently, I happened to hear the great news that the Social Security benefits cost of living increase will be about five dollars per month.

Wow. How can they afford such an increase? Or, are they laughing at people?

It is an insult, above and beyond. It is a slap in the face.

The cost of living has gone up tremendously. Do they really feel that they are helping people?

A little bit of respect and caring would be nice coming from the government.

If they call that helping senior citizens, it is a joke.
