	Denial of cost-of-living increases in social security benefits
	hurts them.  Recipients' real income drops.

	I don't feel you addressed the issue.

	I'm mystified at your apparent naivete --- the analogies I've
	seen are children who say "Your mouth moves funny when you're
	mad" when being yelled at.

	Are you on the level, Mr. Sykora?  If you are, then I'm a fool
	for arguing with you, and I'm getting  that queasy feeling.
