2007 Congressional COLA
Posted by Moonage on 30 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: National Politics
During the 2006 races, the Democrat National Committee ran advertisements criticizing the Republican Party for allowing annual cost of living adjustments to take effect. When in fact, most of the Democrats cherised, and voted for, COLA as well. Payback time. The Republicans blocked a vote to allow COLA to take effect for 2007. Since it was an automatic adjustment, the Democrats would have had to vote against the Republican motion to not accept COLA this year.
Next time you see that issue raised, ask your own Congressman whether they supported it or not. Since it’s a procedural vote, there’s no record of who voted how. That alone should tell ya something about how honest the DNCC was with voters in 2006.
