Correction: Federal employees don't have COLAs. They get an annual pay raise that is not determined by the CPI. This year they got 2% whereas the COLA was 2.5%. The COLA applies to Social Security recipients, military retirees, and Federal retirees.1)A systematic thumb on the CPI couldn't be kept from the worker bees who calculate it.
2)Those worker bees have salaries with COLAs indexed to the CPI they calculate, and they can drop an envelope to a newspaper in the mail.
