Seniors to Get $250 In Lieu Of SS Increase

Stock Market Closes Over Ten Thousand, Permission to Spend More?

Hey folks,

I so wanted to get away from Politics just for one day, but then I saw this. Obama wants to spend 13 BILLION more with admittedly NO WAY TO PAY FOR IT! Which of course, say it with me, will increase the Deficient even MORE.

Now I told you about the fact that there is no cost of living raise this or next year for those Seniors on Social Security. Well, Obama has an answer for that. Give them all $250.00.

Yup. Just cut a check for those 50 MILLION Seniors that are getting SCREWED! Oh and don't forget those receiving Veterans benefits, Disability benefits, Railroad Retirees and Retired Public Employees who don't receive Social Security.

Now a quick check on the math and you get 12.5 BILLION dollars on Seniors alone. Throw in the others, and the White House puts the total at 13. 13 BILLION MORE dollars.

So where is it going to come from? They have NO IDEA. Obama said this.

"Even as we seek to bring about recovery, we must act on behalf of those hardest hit by this recession," Obama said in a statement. "This additional assistance will be especially important in the coming months, as countless Seniors and others have seen their retirement accounts and home values decline as a result of this economic crisis."

That YOU and the Left CREATED! So HOW is it going to be paid for? Obama said that he is not against BORROWING the money. Which will do what? Again, say it with me, RAISE THE DEFICIENT! Stock Market closes over ten thousand, permission to spend more?

Let's leave aside what a one time payment of $250.00 will actually do for anyone and add this stupidity to the Healthcare Bill, Cap and Tax, Even MORE Bailouts to come. Where does it end? Obama has TRIPLED the Deficient in nine months. NINE MONTHS FOLKS. Now he wants to BUY Senior Votes by throwing them a bone? $250.00 is a LITTLE bone.

I really do not understand it. Someone care to explain this all to me? Seriously. A Foreclosure every thirteen seconds. 10 percent Unemployment rate. People losing their jobs all over the place. Obama spends MORE, fixes LESS. Most would say screws up the Economy even more. He is NOT fixing anything. No he and Crew want to take over one sixth of the Economy with Healthcare. We can see how great all the other things Government has taken over is working out.

Oh, as a side note, did you catch this?

Page 19 of the committee’s “plain English” text says: “The Secretary and/or states would do the following: ... Enable customers to enroll in health care plans in local hospitals, schools, Departments of Motor Vehicles, local Social Security offices, and other offices designated by the state.”

That's right folks, you will have to sign up for Obamacare at the DMV. Aren't those lines already long enough? Any doubt that Obamacare is Government run Healthcare?

So $250. for Seniors in lieu of an increase in their Social Security Benefits? What is that, one month Electric Bill? A nice dinner for two with maybe a movie? What will it actually do to help? What is WILL do is further erode the already failing Economy and add to the Deficient. But will it get him the Votes he wants? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Hey Irish Godfather,

{Laughing} Poor Pooch. Truth is more and more people are seeing Obama for who and what he is. Even some that Voted for him. NOW? Let's just say there is a LOT Voter regret out there. I just hope it's enough to make the difference in 2010.
