... Notice from Social Security.
This year (2016), it didn't increase by a single penny, staying at the level it was the year before.
NOW, it "... will increase by 0.3% in 2017 because of a rise in the cost of living.".
(Not THREE percent, but THREE TENTHS of a percent.)
Now, in truth, it does NOT actually say that the cost of living rose only 0.3%, BUT, that sure SEEMS to be the implication.
I have NO idea what planet they are thinking of, but it damned sure isn't the one we're living on.
Obviously, THIS is a VENT. :(
