screwed, and in exactly the manner you indicate. Bah humbug on this b.s.  SS gave me a net cost of living increase of $26 this year (discounting my Medicate premium which was also increased.

With the cost increases in gas, utilities, food, and my Medicare D premium/deductibles/co-pays, that $26 covers exactly nothing. Low income seniors got screwed this year, and are now getting screwed again with this phony stimulus plan.
