   Idiotic knee jerk troll!   
      
   The real rate of inflation far exceeds any alleged "7% pay raise" -   
   which of course is nothing of the sort.   
      
   No one is going to hike wages as  a genuflection to SS and medicare   
   being axed.   
      
   But for GODDAMNED SURE a lot of honest, retired recipients of said   
   services, services they were PROMISED by our ratbag goobermint, will be   
   monumentally FUCKED on day one.   
      
   The real question here is who are you shilling for?   
      
   And just how old are you?   
      
   What level of education have you completed?   
      
   And do you believe in our Creator?   
      
   Because the blank verse bullshite you have been fronting for is a   
   GOPDDAMNED non-starter!   
      
   Got it?   
      
   Good.   
      
   Now fuck off and die.
