A constituent from
Tahoka recently asked me
whether the automatic-
Cost Of Living Adjust
ments (COLA), which
many public and a few
private pension plans are
tied to, is not directly one
cause of the increase of in
flation. He also suggested
that this question might
he one that is considered
"too hot to handle" by
some elected officials.
I would have to agree
with both propositions
COLA, based on an unre
alistic Consumer Price In
dex l< I'D, is one direct
cause,of today's crippling
inflation and that is; a
statement that most
politicians would think
twice about before admit
ting out loud I'rivately, it
is easy to agree that the
American taxpayer just
can't take much more, but
to call the shots as you see
t hern especially when
some of your own voters
are directly in the line .of
fire is politically "un
wise
I for one. think it is
time all of us, both poli.li
cian and voter, stopped
thinking in protectionist
terms of don't gore my
own ox" and get the cards
out on the table, Without
facing problems such as
this, we can never begin
to solve them.
In recent weeks, I ad
dressed the inflation
generated crisis facing
the Social Security
System. Private pension
systems, which millions ol
Americans are depending
on to supplement Social
Security benefits, are fac
ing even more immediate
disaster, if we can't move
to "control inflation now "
Business Week recent
ly came up with the start
ling fact that at a 12 per
l ent inflation rate, a fixed
pension would lose two
thirds of its value in only
I'I years and would be
rendered practically
worthless in 20 years,
devalued a sobering 90
percent
Vet, at the same time,
those pensions protected
by COLA, including hurt
dreds of thousands of
federal retirees, are
costing the taxpayer an
estimated $30 for every
$7 contributed by the
Federal worker It might
seem surprising, but
many Federal retirees
themselves have begun to

question the system that
has been charged with
providing "unjust enrich
riient" for CPI cost of
living benefit recipients
As one retired federal
employee recently wrote
in Business Week, "This
(COLA protection) means
that I do not have to
switch to pork, chicken, or
even pasta, as others do,
because the cost of beef
and veal has gone up more
in the last eight years
than meat substitutes I
am entitled ..to eat the
same quantity and quality
CAKI) OF THANKS
We express sincere
thanks for all the kind
nesses showered on our
loved one arid ourselves
during his stay in the
hospital and at the
funeral, too. We ap
preciate the cards,
telephone calls, the food
and all other acts of
thoughtfulness and con
fern. Especially do we
thank Bro. Dewey Lamb
and Bro John Higgle for
I heir services.
The C W Hitch Family
P -
r
of beef and veal as I did in
1972 73 (the CPI base
period), when it was
cheap."
That overwhelmingly
honest statement is true
because the CPI cost of
living adjustment is so
distorted thai those who
do not collect government
paychecks are facing,
through their taxes, the
overwhelming burden of
supporting CPI based
('OLA recipients, while
seeing their own retire
ment plans go down the
inflation drain.
I honestly believe that
.the majority of Federal
workers are aware and
concerned that we are all
in this boat together and
have all been caught lip in
the same economic whirl
pool caused by inflation.
The problem (inflation)
has been caused by Con
gress and it is now up to
Congress to solve it. >
