Wall Street or Congress?

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

Welcome back!

On the news I hear about those who are protesting the economy.

Why are they blaming Wall Street? Wall Street are not the ones that make the laws that govern the country.

If they truly want the economy to improve, protest at Congress. If Congress really wanted to make things better…..

THEY COULD CUT THEIR OWN PAY TO SAVE US MONEY.

They have a special fund for their medical costs, they have special money even when they are no longer in office. We do not have such things. We are stuck with Medicare and Social Security. Why should Congress get special money and privileges for messing up the country?

Yet, the one thing that Congress NEVER does is take a pay cut.

Ain’t got it

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

Remember the last article?

I ain’t got the money. These days, I am not sure who does. According to the government, they don’t have it. According to the banks, they don’t have it.

Who does?

By the way, if the government does not have the money, why do they keep spending as if they do? Why have the politicians in office not taken a PAY CUT since they cannot do

    their job right

?

Does anyone else out there have this same question?

Update on the renovation

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Right now I am so angry that I am having trouble thinking. I copied this from my other blog Born Clicker.

I am sooooo ticked off.

I was just notified that there will not be a renovation at our apartments. Many of the senior citizens and the handicapped here have given away some of their life long belongings because of the imminent renovation.

Now we hear that is will NOT happen. We have been living around boxes of our belongings, putting up with the hazard created by having those things stacked around.

THERE AINT GOING TO BE A RENOVATION?

What in the world is going on? Doesn’t the management even care what they have done to innocent people? What a bunch of

bullshit!

Rant Time

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

I feel like ranting again. Fair warning…

Obama has decided that for the second year in a row, anyone who is getting Social Security, in any form, will NOT get a cost of living increase - AGAIN.

I wonder how he expects people to pay their bills? IF things are more expensive, what money they have will not go as far as before. People, Social Security does not make someone rich. Far from it. It does not even make sure that someone survives.

Food costs have gone up. Anyone who drives KNOWS that gas has gone up. Utility bills have gone up. Medicine has gone up, Rent goes up each year.

Now seniors and disabled get to decide what they will do without since even more is being taken from them. Medicare, which is taken out of their checks before they even get any money, will not cover as much as it had covered before. Of course that might not matter if they can’t afford to get medicine or pay for food.

Think about it, if they die from lack of medicine, or lack of food, less money will go out of the Social Security funds.

I am being sarcastic here.

Outrageous

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

I am seriously outraged.

A woman, who knew that she was legally blind, decided to go shopping. She had her two daughters in the car with her. Oh, by the way, she also has never had a driver’s license. She decided to leave the mall, drove out into the intersection and killed a man who was on a bike run with other bikers.

She told the police officer that she didn’t see him. She hemmed and hawed about whether or not she could actually tell if the light was in her favor. She also told the office that she was legally blind.

When she went to court for this, she tried to get a lower sentence and get the court to feel sorry for her since she couldn’t see very well. The judge threw out her appeal and sent her to full trial. The jury found her guilty of manslaughter. Now, her family is trying to say that she did not get a fair trial since she is black.

I wonder just how fair the trial was for the man she killed when she broke the law and got behind the wheel of the car she was driving? Her family has offered no sorrow for the man killed, or for his family.

Tired

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Yup, it is that time again.

Have you ever noticed that when you get tired, that is when all of the stuff seems to happen?

I do not know about you, but I am not really into the hustle and bustle that goes with keeping up with the ‘Jones’. I have heard that people are lining up in droves to get this or that which happens to be coming out. I just want to get along without fuss. There is a lot going on over here at the apartment complex. The owner will be doing some upgrades on the apartments that are required by the government.

I have no idea why, the apartments are very nice, but Uncle Sam wants this, that, and the other thing. He does not care about the upset that is being caused for the senior citizens effected. I have seen people giving away things that they really want to keep, and putting out for the trash man, some things that they do not want to throw away.

Government seems to be a big pain in the a**. I wish that the government men responsible for this stuff would have to go through it the same time that everyone else does. See how those people ‘in charge‘ like the hubbub.

PHOOEY

Stranded

Monday, June 14th, 2010

We have some friends who came up from New Braunfels, Texas. They cam up on his motorcycle as it is their only way to have transportation. It is in trouble.

A couple of mechanics have told him that he needs to put in a new jet kit. That kit alone costs almost 90$, and then there is the cost of the mechanic. They now have only the money for gasoline to get back home, and they are not able to use the bike for it will burn itself up if they try.

We are not the only ones who are in need concerning the transportation that we have available.

We went to the local food pantry today and found out that they are running out of food. One of the ladies came out and asked another why she is there today since there is nothing for her to do since everything is running out. How can our politicians say that everything is getting better when people are going hungry, becoming homeless, getting stranded, and there is no one there to help?

IF everything is so rosy, if you listen to Obama, why are the food pantries running out of food, and there is no help for travelers, and people losing their homes. It would be nice if the politicians would get their heads out of the sinking sand and actually look around at what is REALLY going on. They

    must

be blind.

I’m grumpy

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Well, I guess the title says it all.

With what congress has done, we will all be needing a way to earn extra income from home. I do not expect that a whole lot of the country is happy right now, so I am not alone in my grumpiness.

The economy is still throwing out a lot of flack. Businesses are in rough times, families are in need. More income would really be wanted by many people.

Betrayed

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

I don’t know about you, but I feel betrayed by the politicians in Washington, DC.

Nancy Pelosi promised to co-operate with both sides in the political battle and to do things to help the citizens of the country. She has not done as she promised.

So many people in this country do NOT, repeat NOT want the so-called health care bill. Yet, the politicians are trying to kangaroo it into effect no matter what the people want. So much for helping the people.

Oh Brother…

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Well, it seems that the politicians in Washington do not want to listen to the American people. They are wanting to push through the so-called health care bill.

I say so-called because it will adversly effect everyone around. We are a family that has very limited means. According to the bill, we will be forced to pay for health care insurance where or not we actually have $10 to spare. Someone will then determine if we can afford it or not. We already know that we cannot afford it. We count every penny that we have. Lincoln no longer has a beard.

So when my brother-in-law sent me the following e-mail, it really hit the spot.

Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change…. I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

THE BOSS

It really fits.
