I wonder how Florida seniors feel about not getting a Social Security COLA increase for the next two years. In fact, what do you think about it?

Don't have any serious problem with it, so long as it's the result of a lack of increase in the cost of living. Last time I checked, however, the measures tied to COLAs weren't elderly friendly.

I'm, quite frankly, more concerned about these various efforts to dramatically cut back on SS and Medicare than I am about the lack of COLAs in the near future. So I would definitely continue to vote Dem and for Obama.
