Cost-of-living adjustment.In other words the more it costs to live the higher the social security increase will be.So it's an attempt at trying offset your cost.It things are way lots loads more expensive your social security bump will be higher.If costs are fairly stable it will be lower. DUH!Which do you want? To have to pay more through the nose due to an ever-costlier cost of living or have costs be stable in which case your increase won't be as much?Your choice. It evens out you see. You pay more yo et more you pay less you get less. Any questions?Getting a huge increase in social security benefits is not a feather in the hat of the president. It is quite the opposite. It means under his watch you are having a harder time existing from paycheck to paycheck.The COLA increase in social security for 2020 will be 1.6%. less

My sister hooked rugs and painted unicorns for me on canvas and through the years our house is filled with her artwork in all mediums. Hew newest passion? Pottery.She is learning how to "throw" clay and design things and goes to the pottery studio near her home in Carson City, Nevada a few days every week and she is becoming quite adept at it. We keep getting packages in the mail of her latest works. She waits days to get her turn at the kiln and worries that in the process a crack might appear. It's all way over my head!So have you done the same thing? Found you loved something you didn't realize you did and even better that you are very good at doing it? Wanna share? less

Read on, please. I recently spent a fairly moderate yet still significant amount of money buying one set of item that I thought I needed, and a similar amount special ordering another set of items that were not available in the brick-and-mortar store. After a day or two, I found out that the last time I had needed these items, about six or eight months ago, I had anticipated saving money and time by buying extras then, which I stored away for safekeeping. Unfortunately, being forgetful, I didn’t remember the stash. So here I am with doubles, and even more on the way when the special order package arrives. All of this promoted my question. Do you think companies’ profit margins are boosted by outbreaks of knuckleheads like me ... less

They often have lots of candidates running, which creates chaos. This will result in more orderly races and campaigns.Any important races or issues decided today where you live?

Is impeachment and conviction the Democrats' only hope of preventing four more years of Trump in the White House?The Monmouth poll had other interesting findings as well, which I will not try to use in the name of anti- or pro-Trump hyperbole (rare on this site, I know), but will leave to the reader's interpretation.
