WEAK SS AND EVEN WEAKER GOVERNMENT

Thanks to the Bush Administration and a weak congress for passing and signing the misguided Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. Medicare premium increases are now at the highest dollar amount in the program's history and are claiming a growing share of the annual Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) — on top of rising fuel, food, and housing costs your COLA is supposed to cover!

Ain't that special!
