Will it work? Who the hell knows. I have given up trying to figure out how a group of people can have such a self serving EGO that they are above the law and who will vote to pass legislation despite the majority of the people that they represent oppose such legislation.
To take a page from the DIM dramatized and irrational play book, perhaps Ted killed himself in order to pass this legislation. This holds water just as well as their claim that the Bush administration had the twin towers attacked.
There was an article on newsmax that stated, main stream media didn't report this. It was where ONO during his campaign for the election (I know hard to know when since he is still campaigning), he spoke before a group of union members and stated that he would produce results where Ted Kennedy had not, he went on to make the claim that Ted was ineffective and gave in to easily to the opposing party. Well, some staffer for Kennedy got this on tape and showed Ted. Needless to say he was pissed. Awhile later ONO asks for Ted's support and he tells him, I am offended by what you said about me. ONO quickly responded that no he didn't say any such thing. Ted showed him the tape, ONO apologized and the rest is history. Why am I telling you this? Because the article is on newsmax, I didn't know this until I read it there, but after reading it, it illustrates yet again that ONO says things that he doesn't even know what he is saying and doesn't remember what he said. Sound familiar? Exactly what he is doing today still. Yet, politicians nestle together and work out their deals, somehow something was given to Ted by ONO for his endorsement. We'll find out one day what that was won't we?
8-29-09 Haven't had much to say past couple of days, the only news is about Ted being dead and about Michael Jackson having been murdered now. Both are dead, not much I can add to that...
I did see this morning on the drudge report that the cash for clunker money would probably be taxed. And, you know what, the articles are gone now... Hmmm? Maybe somebody got ahead of themselves. But, wouldn't it be funny as hell if they had to pay taxes on that? I hadn't thought about it, but you know, I would expect to have to pay tax on it because it is "income".... Will be interesting to see what they do with this...
Oh, OK, will say something about Ted. You listen to all the great things he has done, and I agree that some of the programs he worked on to get passed are beneficial. But, most have one other thing in common. They all resulted in abused programs that no longer truly serve their purpose. All the give away stuff he worked for is being abused by people who figured out a way to get around the system and reap the benefits of free money. This in itself is one of the main reasons the health care program will never work.
The other thing about Ted is that he became prominent because of his brother. A golden boy who was allowed to get away with several crimes, we all know what they are, that you or I would be in jail for. So, guilty or not, not for me to decide, that has been squared away now by a higher authority.
8-26-09 The ONO administration has made a startling discovery and announced today that the federal government faces exploding deficits and mounting debt over the next decade. They predicted Tuesday a far bleaker situation than they had estimated just a few months ago.
DUH!
Damn, is there anyone in the government that has a lick of sense anymore?
It seems that the ONO administration is more interested in prosecuting CIA operatives who performed their duties in accordance with the law under the Bush administration. They changed the law now they retroactively prosecute. Yet another example of DIM logic and tactics. They thrive on going after those who do not agree with them..
I wonder which side the DIM's are on?
I suppose what it will take is an attack on the US to wake their dumb asses up.
I don't think we are out of this recession mess, we might see a bump up but their is to much debt out there that has to be dealt with and it isn't going to be pretty unless they have a big surprise tucked away somewhere. Don't count on the surprise...
And, noticed that Ted Kennedy died last night. There will be a big to do and funeral and all that about this guy. I won't join in or watch. I have had no respect for that guy for many years, I am sorry for his family as I know they care for him but in my opinion it is just an example of how wrong it is for someone to be in the senate for that many years, there are others who need to go also.
8-25-09 I see where the governor of New York is claiming that his problems in office are because people don't like him because he is black. He stated that soon they will gang up on ONO for the same reason. Got a Wellll here for yah... It isn't because your black, it is because like ONO your an idiot!
See more activity on the ONO birth certificate issue, I sure would like to see that happen... The DIM's have free reign on doing any and everything that they want, they are going to investigate the CIA for unfair interrogation tactics during the war, and their purpose for that is to cause pain for those previously in office. So, all is fair in love and war, it isn't fair in politics, so lets have some fun too!
8-24-09 WOW SIR! I hate to be close to right, but here we go. It appears that the concept of "the party in power" will be taken to a never before seen level by the DIM's who are "the party in power"... I recall many screams and cries of abuse a couple years ago from the DIM's when they claimed the Republican's were pulling stunts to pass legislation they opposed, they cried that "partisanship" was not being practiced by the Republican's. Do you recall that??
So, a couple days ago I stated that it didn't matter what you or I thought, or what the majority thought, that the DIM's who were in power were going to do what they want, when they wanted without regard to what people might think. As I have said time and time again, their motive is to secure and lock in a voting block that will propel them to victory in future elections. Give and give and buy those votes...
Now, following Ted The Head Kennedy's lead, they have announced that they will change the procedure in the senate to a simple majority to exercise procedural processing of their spend and spend bills and stated that the Republican's have until September 15th to come around or they will use their majority in the house and senate to enact their legislation. So, in other words, if you don't agree, too bad, we're going to change whatever rules we need to change and pass it anyway.
I hope the old adage of "don't burn your bridges" comes to play on this down the road. Should "the party in power" one day be the Republicans, I hope that many of these programs being shoved down our throats are modified, adjusted and eliminated.
If you have been following the budget deficit debate, where ONO has insisted that his projections are correct and other (not in the know) projections from economist are incorrect. Then you will not be surprised where ONO will conveniently alter his projection of deficit from 7 trillion to 9 trillion. Citing unexpected shortfalls as the cause in the increased deficit. Well, might these unexpected shortfalls be a result of ONO's failed policies, where the stimulus package is not working? AND, it is worth noting, that this is the second time ONO has upped his deficit estimate where once before unexpected shortfalls occurred. Perhaps if someone had read the 1,000 plus page stimulus bill it would have been noted that extending benefits for unemployed and welfare as the primary solution to the recession was the single item in the bill that they were banking on. And that folks, will not stimulate anyone to go to work if you give them money for siting at home. He stood before everyone and stated that it would create jobs, well, I would do just as the majority are doing right now, sit and draw my check and wait, why go to work when I get money for not working. The typical DIM solution to any problem.
As the deficit grows, the United States is falling behind in the world. We no longer are the leader of the world's economy, we are the leader of debt and at some point other countries are going to make the decision to stop lending us money, stop investing in our country, stop selling us things and lord have mercy, ask for us to pay for some of the things we have already bought.
When that happens, I can't even predict how it will turn out here. Will there suddenly be a shortage of everything? Possible, I can't see how we can continue to buy and buy some more and make more money that is worthless to the rest of the world.
With this happening, ONO is going on vacation. It is time for him to rest and be treated as a God as he strolls along the beach, goes to work out in a gym, eats a muffin at a local bakery all the while absorbing the un feathered adulation of the adoring assembled crowds and all this reported by his media outlets. All I can say is that ONO will have to build a storage facility of 10,000 square foot plus to hold all his worship tapes he is collecting.
8-22-09 Here is yet another example of DIM logic, you know, the party that can't do no wrong and has all the good ideas. The party that is entitled and brazen as hell and has no shame as to the method they use to get what they want. Keep in mind that if you disagree, then you are a right wing something or the other, closely related or a member of the Nazi party and otherwise ill mannered and a dastardly character for disagreeing with them...
Back when Kerry was running for President, they had a concern, it was that if Kerry won the election, then the Republican governor of MA would exercise his right to appoint a new senator and heaven forbid that it would be a Republican that would replace Kerry. So, what did they do? What they always do, they raised a ruckus and forced a change in the state law that the Republican governor could not appoint a new senator. They changed the law so that a special election must be held within 145 days. Their reason was obvious, to avoid having a Republican appointed by the governor.
So, law changed, they got what they wanted and all is well. Well, now ole Ted The Head Kennedy is seeking to have the law they had changed, changed again, to suit their current need and have it where the now DIM governor can select and appoint a successor for ole Teddy... Hand picked no doubt, and even though it has not been mentioned, I would guess that if that is allowed and once it happened, suddenly Ted would say, you know what, I can't perform my job anymore, go ahead and put my hand picked choice in my office.
This reeks! Why even bother having elections in the first place? Why change a law that existed for many years only to change it back a few years later? Simple, because the DIM's want to once again manipulate the system to their needs.
Yet another reason that we need term limits, 8 years, you can run again but not for 4 years, having people in these offices for 40 plus years like Kennedy and Byrd leads them to believe they are Gods... They feel as though they can do what they want, whenever they want, especially when it suits their needs. They don't want to loose a seat in the senate, he is not well enough to get there to vote, he wants to pick someone who will proxy for him, tell it like it is, change the law today, then again tomorrow, why should we care?
8-21-09 I wonder if the new health care payment process will work as well as the cash for clunkers payment plan?
Perhaps some people do not realize it, but I know for a fact having personal friendships with them that already today some physicians do not participate in medicare simply because it is not worth their time. The cost for them to see the patient, hire a office person to fight and fight and fight some more for payment, only to receive a fraction of what they were promised in payment has led some to say, forget it, we will not accept medicare patients. I know of a dermatologist who over the past 10 years has stopped seeing medicare patients and also has stopped seeing others because of the insurance that they have. I know he accepts a couple insurance companies but not many, he says and it makes perfect sense, that it costs him more to process and receive the payment than it is worth. Get ready...
INFLATION! They claim that there is none, and you read of warnings that big time inflation is coming. Well, I don't know about you but I don't understand how they can say that there is no inflation. Gas is $2.50 plus a gallon and has been and won't be coming back down anyway soon. Have you shopped lately? At least here prices have gone up and package size has gone down. I know this is true everywhere as I have been in other states and likewise their prices are similar to ours here in WV. From bologna to milk to meat, ice cream, bread, can goods, etc... Everything has gone up in cost. And, as I have harped about on here ranting away, my March 31, 2009 challenge is coming true, here locally our electric costs will go up 14% effective in December. Not 4%, but FOURTEEN! Our water and sewer fee's recently were raised but don't know the percentage, I believe it was 8.
What started all this? Could it possibly be raising the minimum wage? Say what you want but it does, you can not just say that 50 plus million people are now going to make more per hour without ramifications. Nickel and dime here, scrap that, quarter here and there, some lost jobs that later come back, it doesn't work and nobody seems to get it!
This is without the solution to pay back the failed stimulus package, add to that the other spend without concern programs proposed by ONO and the DIM's and now just add that to our debt and what do you think will happen inflation wise?
I was watching a program about lottery winners. We all have had that day dream, what would we do if we won! This was a couple in OR who won 5.6 million. They took the lump sum option, which carved off some of the money, and then they were taxed by the US and State and took home 1.3 million. Win 5.6 and receive 1.3... And, lets tax the rich to pay for all this. I think we already are!
8-20-09 It does not matter what I think, and it does not matter what you think. What do we know anyway, what matters what we care about or our opinion and concerns and anxieties over changes being made that we oppose.
The DIM's are in control, ONO the idiot is bouncing around and making them uncomfortable saying one thing then another, he is not helping them at all, but, ultimately they will clue him in, put that teleprompter up and the man will read the far left party words that he is told to read. Not that he will understand what he is saying, but he will read it as though he does.
They have complete control, of congress, of the senate, of the press and hoards of socialist idiots who are at their beckon call to squash any uprising. They also have the money, spending millions and millions to flood the airwaves with half truths and promises as they always do when they campaign.
I hope I am wrong, the health care plan is going to pass, give a shit if you care or not, get over it, you'll learn to live with it and whatever it will cost you.
Just remember where it came from come election time, every single person must vote, their numbers are huge, they come from park benches, some are dead, some are illegal (not for long, that is next) and the opposition turn out must be huge to defeat their stock number of votes. They have as of the last election figured it out, how to get their voters to the polls, more than once in some cases, and they learned that lesson well, with acorn in place, doing the census, it is going to be very difficult for awhile. Perhaps we won't out live this, it seems well embedded.
8-18-09 I am really pleased with the first two articles I read this morning. It seems that I am not alone!
First an article where AARP has lost 60,000 plus members over its pro ONO health care stance.
Second an article where DIM representative Allen Boyd of FL has realized that the record crowds he is getting at his town hall meetings means something. It means that the people he represents DO NOT want all this debt and he acknowledged such when replying to a question when asked if he would be willing to scrap everything as follows: "I think that is an excellent idea... we may end up there."
Well, finally someone is paying attention, the spend and spend no matter what tactics of ONO with no way to pay for it won't work, most of us know it, why are politician's so thick...
How the hell does screaming Dean have any input in this, I won't comment on that idiot and what he had to say yesterday... Yah Hoo!
8-17-09 ONO is out campaigning, taking his family along to present a family favorable appearance and yet he continues to prove over and over again that he has no clue what he is proposing, promoting or what he actually wants in a health care program. In Montana, in a crowd that they say was not screened (yeah right) he was under no pressure from routy Nazi protestors, yet he repeated several of the same inaccuracies that various sources corrected him on after the town hall meeting was over. How in the hell can you stand up in front of people and talk when you don't even understand what you are talking about?
It would seem simple to me, that instead of trying to re-write the entire health care program in one fell swoop, that addressing one particular aspect of the health care issue rather than the whole thing would make more sense and be better received.
And, identifying one aspect is so easy, one that would help everyone and be readily received with open arms by everyone. Prescriptions.... If your sick you need drugs of some kind, lets make them all 4 bucks, let the government pay the difference, enough so that the drug companies will continue research and development for new drugs. They have to make a profit so that they will continue research... Actually I don't like this idea, just ranting...
ONO is committed to selling "his" plan and he is sticking by the crowd pleasing statements that draw applause, despite the fact that what he is saying is not correct.
They say now that only about 40% support this sweeping health care change. Yet that doesn't seem to matter to ONO. Again and again I have said in here, lets make change that makes sense, one thing at a time, nobody can prepare a plan that will cover everyone in the manner they are trying to do this. Especially not in Washington!
You know what we are missing here? Illegal immigrants, that is coming down the road, where ONO will want to grant them amnesty, citizenship and full rights thereof. That is scheduled for later this year. If this health care plan goes, they also will pass the immigration legislation, they are in control and just going thru the motions pretending to listen.
8-15-09 On NBC nightly news, Thursday evening a deliberately deceiving report on a health care clinic in CA was aired. The report showed clips of many people in line, and the reporter stated that thousands in desperate need of seeing a doctor waited for hours and some for days, sleeping in line to receive treatment. The report went on and on, repeating the length they had to wait, that some had not seen a doctor in years. Several statements were made about individual patients such as a 3 year old girl who had not seen a doctor in nearly 2 years.
The report was nearly 4 minutes in length, not once did they provide a close up picture of a patient being treated, just shots from a distance showing a room full of people and lines.
The scene they showed was of a dental clinic, the doctor's they referred to were dentists. The care the people received was dental care.
Already NBC and the other main stream media outlets pick and choose the stories they air, now they have crossed the line with a deliberate misleading story that is designed to support the current ONO health care plan.
They must be feeling the heat from the protests, I hope someone calls them on it, but if they do it won't come to light, they achieved their goal, making those who saw the broadcast think that it was health care not dental care.
Which brings to mind a simple question. Why don't we start with a national dental health care program, get it up and running, work out the kinks and then consider a health care program...
ONO at a campaign speech in NH a couple days ago promoting the US run health care program, was tossed a question from the audience. Now these questions are given to pre-screened audience members and that is why I bring it up. Here you go... He was asked about the trouble the US postal service was having and what would be done. His reply included the following: "If you think about it, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It's the Post Office that's always having problems".
Well, ONO is correct and it brings to light once again that ONO is way out of touch on nearly every issue. Here we have a member of the audience who was given a question by the DIM controlled meeting and ONO points out that two privately run businesses are doing just fine and that the government business is not.
Point well made, drop the health care program until you can get the mail service working again.
8-14-09 I've been quite for a few days, observing the news from as many sources as possible, I even listened to some news stations on the radio which is rare for me indeed. And, you know what? The DIM's are in full campaign mode and ONO is leading them with non stop travel promoting their health care program. There is little regard to the ever growing national debt, or the recession that is continuing here despite Europe coming out of theirs. They want this health care and are pulling out all the stops. If you listen to some, they are hiring people to attend and go up against the tea party protestors, to include some fights. All kinds of claims out there, we won't get into that except to say that I believe the part of the DIM's is a dirty deceitful party that will stop at nothing to get what they want.
After days of reading and watching, I see them saying that we must have the new health care program, they answer all the questions with positive answers, it will completely take care of any and everyone, there isn't a single thing wrong with their proposal, it is absolutely perfect.
ONO stands before the adoring mass of people and tells them that he wants them to fight along side him to get this health care plan passed, they roar with excitement eager to do whatever he wants...
You know what? One thing is being over looked at this point. The health care proposal that they want us to buy into, to support, HAS NOT EVEN BEEN WRITTEN YET. That is right, there are tons of paper on this, however the package is not complete, they are selling something that is not even done, they don't know what will be in it, they don't know who it will affect, they don't know what it will cost, but they want you to support it...
It amazes me that so many people can be so stupid. I don't get it, guess I never will.
8-10-09 When you are positive of your opinion on something, even when you talk to others who oppose your ideas it is very difficult to accept their point of view and almost nearly impossible to get to the point where you would even consider changing your mind on something. An example would be your personal belief lets say on abortion. This is a personal choice, however you got there you formulated your opinion and you have decided on how you feel. And like any personal decision, you made it based upon your very own personal experiences and knowledge..
With that said, now pretend that you are an elected politician. You were elected to represent a group of people and they voted for you and chose you over your opponent. Now, up pops an issue, you have your own personal belief and opinion on this issue, but you find yourself where the majority of those who elected you don't believe the same way that you do... Arggghhh, that is not a good situation now is it?
Now that you know that the majority of the people you represent oppose a particular idea you were in favor of personally, is it not your responsibility to first represent your people rather than your personal choice? Shouldn't any personal or party or club or friendship ties be discarded, so that you can vote as directed by the very people who put you in office? Aren't you in office, elected by these people, to represent these people and to vote on laws in a manner that truly represents their desire?
Well, my opinion, personal :) is that as an elected official, you first did one thing to become an elected official. You applied for the job. Only you could apply, you don't get drafted into an elected position, you have to sign up to run for it, be in an election, win and therefore you should feel obligated to represent the people who elected you to the office you currently hold. Personal opinions should not rule your decision making when it is clear that those you work for feel otherwise.
You know where I am going with this. The large number of protests being held against the health care proposal. It appears that despite various issues, such as a tremendous increase in debt, resulting in a big increase in taxes, confusion over a constantly changing law that is written one way on Monday and another on Tuesday, which some question if everyone has bothered to read much less understand.... The lack of clear answers, where in one meeting they clearly say that this will happen when in another meeting they say it won't. The lack of faith and trust in the government running anything, and down right fear that what you currently have will be taken away from you...
There are more issues, but I'll stop there, despite all these concerns the "DECIDED" brush it off as people protesting about something they don't know about, that the "DECIDED" know best. This becomes very clear when the leaders of their party say things such as we will pass it no matter what. Well, that kind of ticks off some people when they hear this and they might become a little vocal. Doing this the "DECIDED" say that they are NAZI's and are part of a paid for and staged protest of some kind. And it escalates and the "DECIDED" blame the protestors for not listening to them when they as elected officials should be the ones doing the listening.
No, I won't stop just yet. One last thing and it is with regard to ONO himself. I have viewed numerous tapes on non main stream news sites that show ONO telling people various things, then in another tape telling another group of people an entirely a different story. Truth is, he doesn't know what is being written himself, yet, he wants it, he wants it so bad he will say any and everything, promise any and everything, he is just like any other politician, but we can't have that with this issue, we need for some politicians to listen to the people who elected them and step back and think about what they are doing, rather than follow ONO into a valley of debt so deep we will never recover.
8-7-09 I certainly don't condone violence, but some of these town hall meetings that are occurring around the country are getting a little rowdy. It is easy to find articles about them on non main stream media news sites, but you see nothing of this on the regular news. Once again, exercising media control to keep their flock in check. And, since the protests are large and loud and there are a lot of them, the DIM house and senate leadership claim that this is a extreme right wing conspiracy against their health care and spend and spend some more plans.
Well, if you oppose their plan then they claim it is something being orchestrated by some evil force, they don't seem to understand that people are stopping what they are doing in many cities, going to these meetings and expressing their concerns and objections to the DIM plan. They get vocal when after saying what they believe is ignored yet again and again.
I'd simply never make it as a politician, I am afraid that I would vote as my people wanted me to vote.
I fear that all the protests will be ignored, that the road we are traveling will remain the same, they are not going to stop, look, listen and decide that way, they are going hell bent following ONO's flawed plan to socialize medicine.
8-5-09 Article says US tax revenues plummet to record lows. Evidently they didn't read my post of March 31st now did they? What do you expect, you push non stop debt increasing programs and you state that you will fund these programs by new fees, surcharges and taxes, all aimed at the people with money. Well, people with money are going to find a place to put their money so it is not taxed. I know, much of this decrease in revenue is also because of the slow down in the economy, loss of jobs, etc.. However, one fuels the other whether you realize it or not. To have success, people with money must invest, simply buying stock is an investment in a particular business, it provides funds for that business to operate and keep its employees working. If your going to take all the money I make on an investment, well, I will pull it out and let it sit. I expect to make a profit on my investments, I expect to keep at least 65% of what I make, I would like for it to be 100% but I will tolerate 65%. You raise the taxes so I make less than that, well, I'd just as soon not make anything. There is a point where people will not tolerate things. Might seem strange but that is exactly how I feel. I was making 65 cents per dollar, you tell me I will only make 55 cents and I am out-right simply ticked off and would prefer to make NOTHING!... Am I the only one like this? I think not, New York, New Jersey, California and Maryland have witnessed this strange occurrence. Evidently I am not alone in my thought process.
A study revealed on Fox states that at this point right now... Not tomorrow but today, that if we taxed everyone who makes $75,000 per year or more at the rate of 100%. In other words take every cent they make, we would not have enough money to pay the debt we currently have. What are we doing?
I'm a little more informed now on the cash for clunker's thing, what puzzles me though is why are they ruining the engines? Does this reduce the recycle value of the engine? It costs the dealer to buy the liquid glass to put in the engine to freeze it up. Why can't they make anything simple and just require that the engine be melted down for its metal value?
We've appeased N. Korea to get 2 journalist released. We now have 3 captured in Iran. Well, if your stupid enough to get close to the Iran border these days then you deserve a vacation over there. These stupid people are now victims, time and money will be spent to recover them when the mistake was their's in the first place for being there. If someone asked me, hey, how about going with me on a weeks vacation to Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, Afghanistan and several other places, I'm afraid my answer would be no... Duh! And, now back to Clinton in Korea, well, it worked, they got the recognition that they wanted, they got the apology in the exact words that they wanted. Perhaps it will work out for the best. It would have been better if the Mrs had gone and they kept her though...
I also read an article that said "with ONO's political future" on the line that the DIM's will push health care reform through the senate no matter what. So there you go, that is what we are up against. It doesn't matter if the plan is read, if it will work, what the cost might be, nothing matters except his political future.
8-4-09 ARROGANT and IGNORANT is our current President and his DIMolings in the house and senate.
If you have a lick of sense you realize that after 6 months in office with complete control that they haven't a clue nor do they have a single concern about the people that they represent. They have socialist ideas of big and complete control by government (meaning themselves) to rule and dictate every aspect of our lives.
I read an article this morning, right after their administration had its 6 month sit down and review meeting, where they now feel as though there may have to be tax increases on the middle class. You think? The first mention of this, no surprise to me, been ranting about it all along in here. Now the seed has been planted here we go. The media, has hidden most everything for ONO so far, when will they step off of his wagon? When will enough people realize that we have been screwed and it is going to cost a lot, a LOT of money to recover...
Recess is coming up, will they listen to the people they represent? If they do, there will be quite a change in what happens when the return to work next month. Will they?
8-3-09 Hard to believe it is August already, and Stupid Is As Stupid Does continues to reign in Washington!
I had not paid much attention to the Cash for Clunker's car program designed to stimulate Government Motors sales until a couple days ago. What I have learned is of no surprise.
When you give away money, stupid people do what stupid people do in an effort to "get some" of the free money.
If my figures are correct, the now expanded program will provide 666,666 people in the US with $4,500 to purchase a new vehicle by turning in a old clunker that will be destroyed. My way of looking at this is that doing this is buying out right a new car you did not have and getting a $4,500 discount on your purchase. Not a bad deal, it will work well for some, but, stupid people can't resist.
What is happening is that there will be thousands of people who trade in a trashed car and get a new car to the tune of $20,000 or higher who have absolutely no means, no idea, not a friggin clue on how they will continue to pay for the car beyond the next car payment. They may be unemployed, some will simply do it because they can and have no concern about next month.
If you create a program as the fine fellows in Washington like to do, you will receive immediate praise and all will seem well for a time, and when the program fails and creates problems, it will be ignored. The rush to do something, anything to get some good news from Washington is nothing more than a CLUNKER!
Every hand out program ever created is abused, disability claims go to people who could work but work the system so they don't. I won't go into detail but you all know this is true, I saw where a 19 year old man was on disability because of his back, had been for over a year, received his monthly check like clockwork. This came to light in a trial where he was being sued for damage he caused while riding his skateboard on private property. He lost the case, went back home and continued to draw his disability...
