Regardless, 2% might cover the increase in Medicare payments by senior citizens.......

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I dunno who said it but he didn't. It's an automatic COLA. Automatic COLAs started in 1975 and have nothing to do with the president. |

The increase is tied to the cost of living and next year's is the largest since 2012 so perhaps Value Buy is indicating President Trump is responsible for the larger increase in prices. |

I thought he was being sarcastic. Yeh, I wanted to beat about a dozen anti-Trump people to the punch. They almost blame him for the sun rising and the sun setting every day |
