"Putting aside all the technocractic spin about the desire to find a more accurate measure of inflation, the only reason switching to the chained CPI has been proposed is that it will result in benefit cuts to Social Security and additional revenues to the federal budget. If Congress wants to cut Social Security, it should do so forthrightly so that it can be held politically accountable – not by asserting false claims of technical accuracy."

Jim . . . thanks for keeping us in the loop. I get more info about our benefits from this site than just about anywhere else. I often share the info with a few other retiree's that I work with that aren't aware of them otherwise.

Oh goody, that should just about offset the $40 a month they have been holding back in withholding. Isn't it great we should get what we were getting in our checks 2 years ago!
