Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Got this from an email that I received today from MOAA. 3.6% looks pretty good considering that we have not received one in 2 years.
August CPI Released
The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the August CPI-W of 223.326 a 0.3 percent increase over the July value of 222.686.
The August value of 223.326 is up 3.6% from the 2008 COLA Base of 215.5.
The 2008 COLA base is used to calculate the 2011 COLA since there was no 2009 or 2010 COLA as a result of negative inflation from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2009.
