Congress Retirement

Okay.....everybody I talk to, every single person I know and some I have never met, all complain that members of Congress do not have to pay into Social Security and get to retire at full pay, get secret service protection, and medical care coverage. 

 Not one person likes it.
Not even one person thinks it is fair.
Every person wants it changed.

 SO WHY IS IT NOT CHANGED? I have filed petitions, gotten signatures, written to the governmental bodies, and yet this changes nothing.

 Now....anybody who thinks that these people in Washington are working for us--WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, is sadly mistaken. 

 This is the reason why Social Security and Medicare are so often attacked by Congress. It's because IT DOESN'T AFFECT THEM!

 These politicians say they work for us? TELL THEM TO CHANGE THIS!!! They won't, because THEY DO NOT WORK FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES!!!! They work for themselves and the big businesses in whose pockets they lie in. 

 SO WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO CHANGE THE SELF-SERVING POLICIES IN WASHINGTON?? Obviously they don't listen to what the people want. 

 Any ideas?? I'm open to them. We have to do something.

And this is what I think..............

Jeb Bush--How Dare You!!

I tried to post this on Jeb Bush's website, but apparently the site accepts nothing but pleasant fluff... So I am posting this open message here, and if anyone knows how to get Jeb Bush's attention, please direct him to this site.  Jeb Bush : HOW DARE YOU!  First of all, let me make this perfectly clear: Having the last name of Bush does not entitle you to the presidency--contrary to what your family believes. But that's not the primary issue here. The issue is this: How DARE you try to take Medicare away from the people who worked hard and paid into it for years! You called it entitlements. Handouts. Want to talk about entitlements? Handouts? HANDOUTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Six-figure retirement package. 2. Guaranteed medical coverage for life. 3. Medical coverage for spouse for life. 4. Secret Service protection for retired official. 5. Secret Service protection for said official's spouse and family.  DEFINITION OF ENTITLEMENTS: Things that

Government Shutdown

This seems to be the talk at every gathering, every dinner table, and everywhere else these days. In my opinion, it's despicable, not to mention unprofessional and childish. Shutting down the government because a group doesn't like a program is just like taking your ball and going home because you don't  like the rules. And if non-essential workers are furloughed, why is Congress still there? Oh....that's right. It's non-essential workers---not non-productive workers. Now here are some of the departments and agencies that are considered NON-ESSENTIAL: CDC--Center for Disease Control . Nope. I guess that's not important. They only identify diseases and their sources, which could stop an epidemic. It's too bad they can't stop the epidemic of Congressional Stupidity. Labor Department --Well, I guess if nobody is working, this department isn't needed. EPA--Environmental Protection Agency . Oh well hell, we don't need this. Filthy air and

What is Happening?

What happened to America? Where did the United States go?  Tearing families apart, throwing crying, screaming children into cage-like facilities?  MY GOD, PEOPLE! WHY ARE WE LETTING THIS HAPPEN? ICE and now the Border Patrol behaving like the Nazi enforcers in Hitler's Germany! SO WRONG! Joe Kennedy III said it correctly: HUMANITY has nothing to do with a green card, a visa, or citizenship.  It has to do with the treatment of people.  AND THERE IS NO HUMANITY IN THIS BEHAVIOR!!  OH. MY. GOD!! Children screaming and crying as they are being yanked away from their parents is HORRIFIC!!! THIS IS NO LONGER THE UNITED STATES!  THIS BEHAVIOR DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT WAS ONCE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! SO SAD! EVERYBODY NEEDS TO STAND UP FOR HUMANITY-- RIGHT NOW!! LET''S GET OUR PRIDE IN AMERICA BACK!!!  RIGHT NOW!!! And that's what I think................
