How to help the economy: Help the ones that vote the most.
The president has proposed sending a $250 check to every Social Security recipient, which sounds pretty good at first. The checks would be part of his admirable efforts to stimulate the economy, and older Americans are clearly a sympathetic group. Next year, they are scheduled to receive no cost-of-living increase in their Social Security benefits.
As if there's just $14Billion just laying around. This is pandering, pure and simple. Plenty of clock-punching workers didn't see a COLA in 2009. Life's rough, suck it up.
