Let's see. Say the cola is 3%. A person getting $1k/month will get $30/month/$1/day/$0.04/hr. A person making $2k/month will receive double those figures. OH JOY!!! RAPTURE!!!

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? We are supposed to be thrilled, excited, overflowing with gratitude??? IT'S OUR FUCKING MONEY. WE EARNED IT!! In the meantime, billionaires get trillions in tax cuts.
