Raise in Social Security Will Go to Medicare.

Once again those of us on Social Security (you know, that socialist entitlement check that so many right winger retirees cash every month as they call Obama a Socialist) are being told there will be no increase. Super duper pooper scooper! My food bill , cell phone bill, cable bill, rent, apt. insurance, medical co-pays, all have gone up, substantially over the past two years and will continue to rise in 2012...where else can I cut? Sam's Club paper products, no Starbuck's, no organic veggies, reuse EVERYTHING, "treats" are off limits, including large oranges from California, greeting cards, postage stamps--thank goodness I still have duct tape to hold together stuff that has broken. I splurged on a couch and now regret it. My great treat of renting movies will be curtailed. Yes, I am whining. I am not homeless or loveless. Money can't buy love or happiness, well, not love, happiness is still debatable. Know what I really hate about my MS? Not being able to buy a lottery ticket every week. $1 bought a day of exciting possibilities. Every time I read about millionaires and Bill, Warren, Donald, the like, I cringe. The Uber-Rich should pay enough in taxes to allow us former middle classites to get a raise in SS, by the way the last raise? I got $40/month more---and it meant the world to me. Where did I go wrong?
