You don't have a clue about me, period. An arrogant, self-righteous tone permeates the vast majority of your posting. Maybe all of it.

You don't own this discussion board, nor do you decide who is allowed to participate or to what extent. It is, in fact, arrogant hacks who degrade the discussion board.

Now, you can climb back on that high horse of yours and take a long ride.

I'll post as I damn well please.

I like idea of developing an "elderly" CPI. Hoyt Apr 2012 #5

By "elderly CPI" you mean one that more accurately reflects the need for higher COLA benefits. Better Believe It Apr 2012 #18
