Social Security screw-up?

And we’re supposed to let these people run health care?

And how many oldsters will be steamed by this unpleasant news?

New York Congressman Anthony Weiner was on Neil Cavuto’s show on FOX  Monday accusing Social Security actuaries of skullduggery because they aren’t supposed to make any determination until October.   He was in full froth,  even inferring that the White House might have intervened.    Well,  what better way to deny that inflation is setting in than by having Social Security rule it nonexistent?

Go here and here for a simple explanation of how the cost-of-living adjustments work,  and what the actual effect is likely to be.

$9 TRILLION…

Remember all the huffing and puffing the Obama administration did about the CBO’s idiotic pronouncements on the budget deficit,  which absolutely,  positively,  were not right?

Well,  the Friday afternoon news dump contained the information that His Oneness has raised its own estimate to $9 TRILLION,  which puts it in line with the CBO projections of $9.1 trillion.

But this morning the word is that the CBO will lower its projections to about $7 trillion,  which was where His Oneness was.    Will the administration now embrace the CBO?
