Cliff Dwellers
As I sit on the precipice waiting to be pushed or shoved, two items arrived in the mail. On the plus side was the notice from SSA of a COLA increase of 1.7% reflecting a net of thirty dollars per month. On its heels was a notice from my landlord increasing my rent by thirty dollars per month or a dollar per day. They call that a "wash." So one would think that I am holding my own while waiting for the Congress to act. Harry Truman had what he called a "do nothing congress" but this current gang have outdone the do nothings. Where have all the statesmen/women gone? Anyway, if we do go over the cliff let's hope we all have a bungee cord to bounce back. Any year ending in 13 can't be lucky!
