Bill would require zillionaires to fund Social Security raise

It's another year of dog food for Grandma, as Social Security beneficiaries are once again receiving no cost-of-living increase for the upcoming year.

Congress says this is because there has been no (whoosh...whoosh) inflation this year. That appears to be a lie, for CEO's of America's 350 biggest corporations received a 3.9% raise in their salaries - which is reminiscent of the stagflation of the 1990s and 2000s.

But the legendary Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) wants to correct this high-handed larceny. Warren has filed a bill called the Seniors and Veterans Emergency Benefits Act that would increase Social Security and veterans' benefits by 3.9% - and pay for it by taxing these rich CEO's. It would provide a onetime benefit of an extra $580 to each person on Social Security.

The bad news is that Republicans will obstruct this much-needed bill. Why wouldn't they? It's clear there's no electoral consequences, no matter how unpopular their actions are. Which is why these traitors need to be toppled in a coup.
