Tag raises for Federal elected officials and their immediate staff to the Chained CPI.

Created by J.C. on December 26, 2012

While Congress has limited COLA raises for Social Security, they have not hesitated to increase their own pay. As long as they are willing to support President Obama in "compromising" on the backs of Seniors in negotiations on the Fiscal Cliff, they and the President should use the same logic and tag their own pay raises to the same Chained CPI or any other measures they use to determine Social Security raises for seniors.
