Why did my rent go up $1.00?

It's sad that our financial system is so out of whack. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, and every time they figure out a way to pay for something else, it comes back on the little guys. Why is it that you can't get an SSI raised, but someone like Tiger Woods can be paid $90 million a year for endorsements? Something is wrong with the whole picture, but our politicians can't seem to figure it out. Probably because they are among the overpaid!

Yes, my SSI didn't go up either due to what they say is the lack of the rise in the cost of living. But actually my SSI doesn't decide how much my rent is completely. I had to go in earlier this month (to the local Housing Authority) for a review of what my rent will be. I have to take in my proof of SSI, any proof of income, and all of my medical bills that I pay out of pocket. They look at that, and then decide how much of my rent I will have to pay. They don't do that with your Section 8? I actually think my rent will go up this year, but I hope I'm wrong.
