#3 Lest we forget, SS was NEVER intended to be a person's only source of retirement income.

It was always meant to be supplemental retirement income.

#4 ..It should be pointed out that military retirees will get no raise either - and strictly by the book, GS and active military shouldn't be getting one at all but not even Congress is stupid enough to do that.
