General Discussion

a break off point for anything. Why did you use that figure, an assumption or just riffing?
Unless you are at poverty level, 14k and change, your COLA will be computed with chained CPI.
This is all a matter of public record, you can look it up, instead of citing 34K or whatever figure springs to your mind.
My intention was to inform you of the facts. What was the 34K figure referring to? Where did it come from?
From your post: 'Even if this CCPI does got through, it won't affect those making under $34,000.00 @yr., I don't think. So it really is a lot of propaganda and undue hysteria.'

So where did you get all of that raft of assumptions? It is not true that it only affects those making over 34K. That is false. And you follow that misinformation by declaring others as speaking propaganda.
Where did this 34K figure come from? Got a cite? Got anything to prove that anything I said is not accurate? Because your statement was far, far from accurate.
So cute 'ass-umption' name calling, very sweet. But from where are you pulling your figures?
