105. how many times do I have to show the actual information to convince you
Edited on Tue May-12-09 07:35 AM by onenote
Are you intentionally putting your head in the sand? If so why? I have given you direct links to the official calculation of the COLA and to the source of those numbers and shown how the SS COLA adjustment is based on an "all items" line in the CPI-W that includes the very things you and others seem to imagine -- you offer absolutely no support for your position -- aren't included, such as housing costs.

I believe that you are sincere in your desire to reform COLA. But if you don't accept the facts about the current approach, you will never be a good advocate for changing that approach.
