As explained elsewhere in the second link above, the SS COLA has not been adjusted since 2008 because Congress said so, not due to any volition or methods on the part of either the SSA or the BLS.

So what`s the GOP plan for recovery?

Could you hold your breath while you`re getting us that info?

Sorry, your guys have been in charge since 2008... No matter how you cry, this one is all YOU!

In case you missed this, let me type it out for you again...

3.6 TRILLION FOR FISCAL 2011

Shouting about it doesn't make a lie more believable.

You do know Obama has to pay the bill for Bush's wars and tax cuts? You do know that a yearly budget doesn't mean all the money is spent that year? That it's budgeted over several years?

i.e., even considering what Obama has spent, much of that hasn't actually been spent yet, money set aside in the 2011 budget will be spent in subsequent years, just as expenditures in the 2008 budget are still coming due in 2011, we still have troops in Afghanistan for example, and the bulk of debt growth since 2000 can be attributed to military spending increases on various wars, coupled with tax cuts that reduced revenue.

Or did you think that was free?

Get it? Or do I have to shout?

Wrong. Only money actually spent is in the deficit tally.
