All you can say is I have no idea what it is like to be poor, which does not negate any fact I proffered.
Regarding COLA - SSI has gotten one every year  http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/SSIamts.html
I think you are talking about state programs, which are the realm of the state Gov. though the Feds do help them. |
I am talking about both. Fed (foodstamp ABAWD requirements) and State (AFDC or TANF--no COLA raises). and County too actually (General Assistance--actually CUT back to 2003 levels).
again: 14% of the budget is probably what he CUT from social programs to begin with so: IM NOT IMPRESSED. Its the money those programs should have gotten right along. NOT. IMPRESSED.
