That is on average $5.50 a week. Cost of living has easily tripled that so yet again those that actually worked get shafted--while the large increases go to the dem freebie -vote buying- programs..--Tyr

Exactly. The welfare leeches get a double-digit cost of living increase....while those that actually paid into the system all of their working lives (whether they wanted to or not) get a less than 2% increase. But you know that Obama figures he's mostly shafting those old whitey grandfathers and grandmothers that are mostly probably conservative. Like everything else, he's wrong about that too.
