Rant Time

Welcome back!

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.

Oh Brother…

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.

Did you listen, or even hear?

Well, Obama has had his say about health care. Were your questions answered? Or do you still have questions?

This is what I know:
People in Canada leave their country to come here to get good health care.
People in Great Britain leave their country to get good health care.

Why do they not stay in their own countries if their type of health care is so great?

It is because their health care systems are not as good as what we have here. Yes, it could stand some improvement. However, getting our political figures involved in the health care process definitely is not the answer. Just look at the operating costs of our government and then figure the same type of spending applied to your own health, or lack of health. The politicians will not be using what the regular people will be stuck with after all. They have their own health care programs and do not have to face the same type of paper work and hassles. Why is it so important to force something down the throats of Americans when they do NOT want the interference?

I watched it

Yes, Pres. Obama was on the TV tonight. I watched it.

I still have questions about health insurance when you do not have any money. That question was not answered for me and probably for others, too. I guess that I could always invest in short term health insurance NC. However, like I said, I do not have money.

Here in Central Texas, we have a hospital that has special programs for those without money. I know in Arkansas, they have no programs like that. How about in other states? I just hope that when all is said and done, the special programs to help those without money are not stopped.
