This article sounds somewhat optimistic about the economic outlook. So why is the Congressional Budget Office recommending that Senior Citizens 65 years of age and older not receive a cost of living increase in their monthly Social Security Checks next year, nor in 2011?
Why does government give corporations and banks, who caused this miserable economic disaster, outrageous sums of money to help them out, and then cut needed assistance to senior citizens? Is it to pay for the corporate bailouts?
