It's Official - No Social Security Increase (Again) For 2011

Those on a fixed income just got even more fixed...
"As if voters don't have enough to be angry about this election year, the government is expected to announce this week that more than 58 million Social Security recipients will go through another year without an increase in their monthly benefits.
It would mark only the second year without an increase since automatic adjustments for inflation were adopted in 1975. The first year was this year."
