It seems President Barack Obama has decided to demonstrate fiscal restraint, but his turn towards less federal spending has come at the expense of Social Security recipients in 2010 and, as recently announced, in 2011.

Those who receive Social Security benefits will not receive a Cost Of Living Adjustment (COLA) in their monthly checks for the second year in a row.

Eliminate the middle class, open borders,ship all manufacutring to other countries and in the end you have a rich/poor society, won't it be wonderful.
