Already pulling the plug on Grandma?

Because oil prices are lower this year, it is reported that Social Security benefits will not contain a cost-of-living raise (COLA).  What kind of sense is that? Medicare will continue to go up, medi-gap insurance will continue to rise, groceries, and everything else. Who else, but our Seniors, recipients of Social Security are going to be so penalized? If this isn’t a form of ‘pulling the plug,’ I don’t know what is. –dc
