Blind to the Bigger Picture

Why can this administration not ever see the full picture of any issue? Here's a perfect example:

WASHINGTON -- More than 47 million Americans receiving Social Security will get a 2.7 percent increase _ an extra $25, on average _ in their monthly checks next year, but much of the increase will be eaten up by higher Medicare premiums.

Of course, the administration will say they are doing so much good because they raised Social Security, but, like our tax cuts that were eaten up by the rising prices of everything else in the world!, this raise in SS gets eaten away, as well. We need someone who can look at the world without blinders on!
