With all of the taxes we pay now, why is the low price of gas causing Social Security not giving a COLA raise this year? Does this make sense to you? It sure doesn't to me.

Agree! To use only that one cost as an excuse is ridiculous. Groceries are sky high. Price gouging in the pharmaceutical industry makes the news. My property tax has tripled in the past 10 years. There's a fee for everything. Smh...

It makes no sense to me. I don't understand why the COLA for seniors is ONLY based on one cost of living, gas. Since I retired, my expenditure on gasoline has dropped dramatically because I drive less while the cost of everything else has risen.
