Senate rejects Obama proposal for $250 Social Security bonus payments"
Senate rejects Social Security bonus payment - Yahoo! Finance:

President Obama asked Congress to approve the $250 Social Security payments to compensate for their benefits not increasing this year but the Senate rejected the increase by a vote of 50 to 47.  This proposal would have given 57 million elderly people, veterans and persons with disabilities a $250 check.  The powerful senior's lobby and millions of Americans view this rejection as a major setback. 

Are you a senior? If so, what are your thoughts?
