You can't get much lower then 1.7% cola.

as republicans want all entitlements on the table,, it is time to reconsider voucher & public schools as well !!! after all,, a free education is feeding at the public trough !!! perhaps we should simply spend our dollars on those children who score in the upper 30 percentile ??? the rest can go get state and county jobs w/out pensions !!! it's time to put wasteful spending of tax dollars on dullards to an end !!!
