Did you ever wonder why your check didn't go up ......

If your check increase is based on the CPI it didn't increase to keep up with inflation. The government cheated you out of it. Probably gave the money to the losers who didn't pay for their house. Or gave it to the fat cat gangsters who make sure both political parties stay in charge.

Oh I forgot, you did get a couple of bucks in "stimulus money." Now they have to raise your taxes to cover it. Kind of takes the thrill out of voting, doesn't it?

Bet on it!
