Yes, I do. After hearing these election campaigns both parties will say anything to get elected. At one time I was a die hard democrat but no more. I am not a Republican either but I guess you might say I am a woman without a party. The independents are mostly made up of the GOP who won't admit they are republicans & the Tea party is over the edge. What have the democrats done to help you in the last 10 years? I know I haven't gotten a raise in my social security for two years but the fat cats in Washington get theirs.
Those raises are based on rates of inflation, and there's not a whole hell of a lot of that during a recession.  And we can't vote a raise for ourselves... one thing I wish WOULD change about Congress.

John, I believe Seniors got $250 last year and since the Congress doesn't want them to get a raise again this year, seems the Dem's want to give Seniors and the Disabled $250 again this year;
It's not much, but it IS better than nothing at all.  I wonder if they're also thinking about giving one to all the folks who've been on Unemployment for two years.
