C.O.L.A. Cost of Living Adjustment
I hereby declare that all COLA's be tied to the rise in the cost of insurance. My home owner's insurance is due early next month and the increase is 21%. Auto insurance has stayed roughly the same however my vehicles depreciate every year so actual value has decreased. I don't even want to discuss health insurance. Most private sector workers have not received a raise in years so I guess I should be happy with the paltry increase in Social Security of 1.5% .

With my luck, the day after I allow my home-owner's insurance to lapse a tornado will hit or an electrical short will burn my house down.
