Finally, a COLA that actually accounts for what seniors pay—take that, inflation sneaks! Seniors deserve benefits as sharp as their wit, not a pink slip from price hikes.

If we're going to pay, let's pay what seniors really need—not what generic indexes guess. It’s a modest tweak with major dignity for retirees.

Why fix what’s not broken? CPI-W works fine; seniors deserve security, not a blank check from Uncle Sam.
