re: #50 freetoken

The article notes the COLA proposed for this year is considerably higher than years past. That said, the chicanery being floated would screw it up for years into the future.

That said, COLA has pretty much been a sore point ever since it’s been used, regardless of Democratic or Republican administrations. For Libertarians, they note the problem of tax bracket creep, in which COLA can push you into a higher marginal tax bracket but the brackets themselves aren’t indexed to inflation (thus their solution is a flat tax, rather than indexing the tax brackets to inflation as well).
