Cost of living allowance AKA COLAs. Deciphering who gets them shows Obamas war with America. He could give a rats petard about the middle class while the poor sit on their butts all day and get the government teet.

When our country had the last great depression, we owned up to it.



The media barely calls our current economy a great recession.

Rand or Cruz should get a slogan going...a job and a chicken in every pot, dismantle big gov and audit our pocket book already and no more senseless wars.

No kidding. I remember BO=before Obama getting a roasting chicken for 3-5 dollars. Now they are 12 or 13 dollars.

A beef roast is now priced like filet mignon and filet mignon is only in the fresh market type stores; where the Hollywood stars shop when they go to their houses on figure eight island here.
