INFLATION: Worse than feds portray

It is beyond me why the government would lie to us about inflation. If this was figured as it should be, you owe us about 4 percent COLA for the last three years, or 12 percent increase. This is all political baloney. I hope us old people don't have to march on Washington, D.C., to get a break on this.

You people don't figure in the price of gasoline, taxes, utilities, appliances, doctor visits, hospital visits, insurance, automobiles, prescription drugs, clothing; all you figure is groceries. There is much more to living expenses than you guys figure.

How about getting real for once? I don't know why our leaders are a bunch of liars and thieves.
