What am I missing???
We have and will give Haiti $1,500,000,000.00 and there is nothing to show for it. The people are still
wondering around just like before the earthquake only now they are in tents. And we want to hand out more
money while we are FREEZING SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS TO OUR SENIOR CITIZENS. Is that just stupid or is
there an anti-senior bias showing up in this???
And our aid to 'terrorists' countries like palistine is another several BILLION DOLLARS we are not giving to
our senior citizens.
Then there is the way we figure inflation. In my world, the following items have gone up in this year:
Bread
Milk
Eggs
Meats
Every Vegetable
Electricity
Heating oil
NAtural gas
Gasoline
Insurance premiums for auto, health, housing, and even medicare premiums
Rent
Real Estate Taxes
State Taxes
Sales Taxes
Medicines - over the counter and prescriptions
All these things make up a part of the expenses of a senior citizen as well as working people's expenses.
So why isn't the CPI (The Inflation Factor) going up???
The main reason is home prices. The second reason is home prices. And the third reason is home prices.
Home prices need to be taken out of the CPI, in my opinion.
BUT, Most seniors are living in a world where their cost of living will increase by anywhere from a minimum
of TEN PERCENT (10%) to TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (25%). The government thinks it's OK to FREEZE the
SOCIAL SECURITY FOR our seniors - while THEY GIVE AWAY HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS
TO PERKS FOR CONGRESS PERSONS AND FOREIGN PEOPLE.
That is absolutely UNAMERICAN. These congress persons need to get their priorities correct. The CITIZENS
OF THE UNITED STATES COME FIRST WHEN HANDING OUT OUR TAX DOLLARS.
I say reduce and eliminate foreign aid and give it to our citizens.
Does anyone beside me think that China and Japan need to step up their giving and increase their foreign aid ?
The CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD BE THE TOP PRIORITY FOR ALL OUR SPENDING AND GIVING PLANS.
And that's the way I see it...
