Be still, my heart. :-)

... 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.  :(

    Or, as one of my favorite authors (F. Paul Wilson - see
    Yet ANOTHER "He Who Must NOT Be Named"     ) put it:"Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, ... and government is from Uranus. :-)
