Budget Vote in the Senate
I have no squawks about freezing Social Security. Fortunately, I can get by. I do have a squawk and a great big one--the cost-of-living increase is denied to seniors, it should also be denied for congressional pensions, likewise all pensions that are paid by the taxpayers.
I believe that if Social Security payments get no increase--then nobody at the public trough gets an increase.
