I don't depend on Social Security or Medicare but it was funny how they bragged about how large the increase in SS was then they took half of the increase for Medicare.
Half? You must get a whole lot more SS than I do. they took all but about a dollar. as I recall.. Beyond that I get political so I'll stop here.
As for fuel prices
Someone did an "inflation adjustment" and the 2008 peak, adjusted to today's inflation level. would be something like 5.29/gallon
So all these yocals yammering "Record prices" are off by about a dollar. (not sure of the 29 cents part might have been higher.. I did not personally do the math)
