I am totally disabled, so I only get screwed now when there is 10% inflation, then the fucking liars in DC say it is 1.3425%, and I watch my fixed income drop......
But most of you are able to work, so tell me, have the twin mills of Obamao-Care and the Tax Increase decimated your take-home pay yet? Perhaps this is why we are seeing the rush to get us registered and confiscated? Because the impact of these two items will kick this weak-assed economy of ours in the balls! I had to go to the mall here on Friday and Saturday early evenings to get batteries put in my watches. Yeah, I know, but my manual dexterity is bad and eyesight not great! Anyway, the damn mall was dead! I mean it looked like the Enid, OK mall three years after oil busted in the US.........Comments?

I don't know the point you're trying to make exactly; federal payroll deductions dropped temporarily, then went back up this year. Lots of threads bitching about that. Beyond that, the government does not regulate COL increases in paychecks in the same way they do your disability check. It's still a free market here in the private sector  You're local mall probably would be dead right now...it's the middle of January  Speed |

To clarify, how much smaller are paychecks now in 2013 vs last year? I know COL adjustments are not the same for me as in the private sector.......
Most people I have talked to are shocked that their take home pay has been reduced so much when they were already struggling financially. I am curious...

Now...what it can buy compared to last year? Fuck if I know...everything's gone up in price. |
