No Social Security COLA expected for 2011

   It seems the Trustee's of SSA and SSI must be getting paid too much or way too many benefits. They must have other person buy their Goods.

   If one buys Groceries they can not help but know that the Cost Of Living is up. Do they rent or lease an apartment, suite, or a house? They would know that cost of living is going up!!  

    Again did these trustee get a raise this year?  Their raise could come in many forms, Travel Pay, Housing expense while they stay in town where they meet. Do they maintain an office as they are a SSA or SSI trustee? Are they given a staff? Did any of this Staff get a raise? I do not know. If anything was added because or while they are SSA or SSI trustee this would amount to two standards. Just like the House and Senate they live by one standard and the people they are suppose to represent are forced to live by another criterion.

    The Government can spend all they want and the economy will not turn around. The jobs that went overseas under the Bush presidency will have to be brought back. If there are no Jobs how can one earn monies to spend. These companies should be declared UnAmericana. 

I would think their sales would be down because the people that lost their jobs overseas and offshore now have no money to buy their foreign made products that used to be made in the Good USA. Items made and sold in Americana spread the wealth around. Also taxes were paid in the USA. If the products are made elsewhere income taxes could not be paid in the USA. It would be paid in the country the product and parts made. 

  The politicians need to know most of the Americans want to work and pay their way.  A man is trying the raise his family in a Small rural Community only makes minimum wages and  no health insurance.The same ones that fuss about welfare will not pay $15.00 for an item or service so they will not have to be on food stamps and etc. The very ones who are willing to pay $5.00 and complain about Food stamps, is again not willing to pay the $15.00.
