St. Petersburg Times: Social Security bonus a "bribe"

Though the frequent inaccuracies and bias drive me up the wall a bit, I love to bash The St. Petersburg Times.

But every so often they actually take an editorial position I endorse. The editorial on President Obama's proposal to offer a sop to seniors who won't be getting cost of living raises to their Social Security income next year serves as an outstanding example:
Maybe President Barack Obama should just call it a bribe. That is the best way to describe his plan to send recipients of Social Security $250 next year.
(Read it all)
Good work. It's nice to be able to say that for a change.
