Word from my moles in the White House is the President will be calling for a "chained-CPI" for Social Security in his April 10 budget. That's a lower inflation adjustment than currently -- meaning future Social Security recipients will be getting far less than otherwise, especially when compounded over their retirement years. This makes no sense either politically or economically. Politically it's absurd for the President to offer the Republicans a concession on the budget they haven't even asked for, before bargaining has even begun, and which most Americans -- who have paid into Social Security for years -- will oppose. Economically it makes no sense because the typical senior spends 20 to 40 percent of his or her income on health care, whose costs have been rising far faster than inflation -- meaning even the current inflation adjustment understates the true needs of seniors.
I hope you have a restful weekend.

Some of us looked for money, travelled, took time off from work. But our decisions were never upheld, not by the IEBC, not by the COURTS.

~ Friends, the big questions still remain un-answered.
1. Why give a ruling on such a serious petition without reasons?
2. Why should the detailed ruling come after 2 weeks, after the swearing in?
3. It is strange that the petition by Dennis Itumbi was upheld.
4. How do you deliver unanimous ruling, where there is so much evidence?
There are more questions than answers, and history shall judge the judiciary very harshly.
