As an effort to buy votes, this isn’t even subtle:
President Obama is calling for a $250 rebate for seniors after the Social Security Administration announced Friday that interest rates in 2010 haven’t risen enough to justify an increase in benefits next year to the 58 million retirees and disabled Americans who receive the entitlement.
Congressional Democrats, already in a precarious position headed into Election Day, are heeding the president’s call.
It’s only the taxpayers’ money. Why shouldn’t Democrats use it to buy votes?
