That is what is supposed to be used to determine the COLA for the military. And also for us old folks drawing SS. <br /><br />http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm<br /><br />Nearly everything has increased in price over the last couple of years so the government changes what they calculate that COLA with, but they now do it without considering fuel, and energy prices. Because they are too volatile. Just like they only count the number of unemployed by those that are drawing unemployment compensation not even close to the real number of unemployed.<br /><br />Very Respectfully,<br />Navyman834Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-64588562084360568032011-11-08T19:29:02.878-05:002011-11-08T19:29:02.878-05:00sin·cer·i·ty (sn-sr-t) n.

Maybe you can find some legislators from either party spouting similar high-minded rhetoric...and call them out on it the 1.6% too....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
