Greetings from my favorite uncle

I received my annual "we were only kidding" letter from Social Security. This letter is a full 8 pages---thank goodness it is printed on both sides

The opening paragraph gives me the good news---I am going to receive an additional 1.6% in 2020----and then the next 7 1/2 pages go on to explain that they were only kidding. I don't get to "enjoy" that promise because I was a bad boy--so I get a piece of coal in my stocking!

And we all know there ain't any future in coal

This has become my annual amusement provided by my dearly beloved Uncle Sam

I joke about this, but am not really put off by it---what they take from me isn't going to change my day---but for someone else it might brighten theirs.
