What's not to like about this Bill ? Does Congress really need to make it look like there throwing us a bone every year waiting for them to approve our Cola. Give me a break.
Imo
Instead of an increase based on Social Securitys COLA, based the increase on the militarys' COLA.
JA Boyd
The military pay is not increased based on COLA. It is based on the budget recommendations and whatever Congress decides to give out. Basing it on CPI like Social Security is a better method.
Charlie
This year it looks like a COLA of close 6 percent. That is a better percentage than most folks will get in this economy.
Wally
More that I will ever get from my civilian retirement plan. That would be "0" adjustment for cost-of-living.

The USA is taking 700 billion from the citizens to bail out incompetent companies. Will our percentage really be 6.2, or higher, or what is really left?
