Why does Obama want to bribe seniors for the second year in a row?

There hasn't been enough inflation to trigger a Social Security cost of living raise. So Obama is going to spend billions %26amp; send them a check that they don't have coming to them.





Last year is was a bribe to keep quiet while he attempted to pass Obamacare that robbed $500 billion from Medicare.





This year its a blatant bribe right before the elections to vote Democrat.





Do you think its right that he spends our money to further the goals of his own political party?|||One day you cons are screaming about hyperinflation and the next you're admitting that there's no inflation. In any case, maybe he's just trying to help seniors who are on tight budgets and who have received a COLA every year until last year. Did you ever consider that?|||Oh c'm on. If you haven't noticed we are all paying more money for goods we need. Whatever "they" judge by to determine cost of living does not apply to most of us on social security. I certainly have to pay more. I got nothing last year to alleviate the pain and again this year I won't be able to get new shoes to replace th 4 year old ones that I wear.





A bribe? You have to be kidding. Try living on $700 per month.|||i got nothing from obama or SS this year and they don't plan on cola next year. they say there was no cost of living increase. if that is true how come my rent went up $180 a year and also my car insurance %26amp; medi-pak insurance etc. etc.|||HE IS JUST A RETARDED MUSLIM IDIOT AND KNOWS NOTING ABOUT ANYTHING. HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED AND AMERICA NEEDS TO STAND UP FOR THERE RIGHTS AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION|||No wonder you call liberals elitists. You cannot even formulate an argument. Nothing in your little rant made sense.|||I thought he was forming death panels to wipe'em all out. Now he's giving them more money and that's an atrocity. You guys are bipolar, make up your mind.|||Your just as uninformed today as you were yesterday.|||if you divide 250$ between 365 days a year he might as well keep his(your) money.but yeah he is trying to buy votes with it.convenient timing i think|||You mean by not screwing them the way every Republican since Reagan has?|||So Bush gives money to the rich, no problem, Obama gives it to people who have served the nation well over a long period of time, are probably going to go spend that money on products that US business makes, and actually need the money, and you complain!!!





I don't get it. Really I don't. Are you arguing just because you hate Obama? Because you cannot formulate your own opinions and you take those hand me down rags given to you by the republicans and right wing press, well done.





A bribe. I bet you think anything that is a vote winner is a bribe. Healthcare for poor people, damn, a bribe to poor people. Erm, isn't that what elections are about, giving the politics that the people actually want?





Every politician spends YOUR money for their own political needs. Get over it. Republican congressmen and women are known, just as democrats are, to vote for things that are totally against the wants and wishes and needs of the US people. Yet they do it because that company will pay them a lot of money for their next campaign.





Try things like drilling in national parks, who does that benefit? Only the rich owners of the company. It does not benefit anyone who doesn't want to see national parks destroyed!!!|||What else do you expect a Chicago pimp to do?
