Social Security cost-of-living increase.

Social Security is the hard-earned money that people paid into during their entire working careers and it does not belong to the government to maneuver for any other purpose but pay-back to those people who paid into this system - as was originally promised to them.

Why is this important?

The government wants to maneuver the Social Security monies by not granting the Cost-of-Living increases that are due. This money was earned during peoples' entire working careers and it should be of benefit, just like all other entities.
