Do you get cost of living raises ever?

I understand that the economy sucks, but a raise that isn't even as high as the inflation rate is depressing. I get my raise tomorrow, it'll probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of yours. Woo.

we usually tend to get a raise about like that (except for the 2 out of the 5 years when they were withheld)...sure are not catching up with inflation...i would have thought this company was too cheap to give any kind of raise...
