The whole concept of cola is to keep up with inflation. If it falls far behind, it is by definition not a "nice col". If it was a 30% increase and inflation was going up at a 40% rate, it would still not be good. You would still lose buying power. It is amazing that anyone could talk positively about having less buying power than the previous year while doing nothing differently. Runaway inflation is pretty bad... pretending otherwise simply begs a response.
I am pretty sure my congressman is not the core cause of the current problems with gas/inflation...and even more sure that they would not be able to help much.
