Obama Supports $250 Payments

From the Chicago Tribune:
President Obama will press Congress to send a one-time payment of $250 to senior citizens to help them get through another year without an increase in their Social Security benefits, White House officials said Friday. ...

But the plan faces opposition in the Senate, which defeated a similar measure last year, and among Republicans concerned about long-term funding of the Social Security system.

If someone is spending, he's supporting!
The law dictates that a COLA is not appropriate. It's not that complicated!
