NO INCUMBENTS IN 2010.Amen.AWB
Yes, and they were right to do so, because that program is not only bankrupt, but actually has unfunded liabilities near $30 trillion.
2. Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
Yes, and they should go up even more. You aren't entitled to freeload off the rest of us just because you're old. Medicare is already in negative cash flow, and also has $20 trillion in unfunded liability.
3. Over 2-yrs they ea. get $10,000.
Chickenfeed compared to the $trillions they'll spend on Pork and entitlements to get your vote, and chickenfeed compared to the insider deals in real estate, tax planning, lobbying gifts and other legal but ethically questionable money they'll earn during the same period. Their net worth -- on fairly modest salaries in one of the most expensive cities in the world will probably increase by $100,000-250,000 during that same period.
So, by all means, please get yourself outraged over $5,000/year.
4. Do you feel SCREWED?
Yes, and old people who never paid one dime into Medicare who think they should be outraged because taxpayers aren't ponying up enough for their health care make me feel even more screwed. Everyone should feel screwed by octo-/nona-genarians who constantly demand MORE... MORE... MORE!
5. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase. NO WAY. They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past. You obviously are too stupid or don't care.
What in the bloody hell are you talking about? Most of our Entitlement problems arise because money is being transferred from poor young people to rich old people. Those old people vote in huge numbers in every election and feel ill-used because while 17% of the country can't find work, they're being asked not to take a raise -- that they've done nothing to earn -- for one lousy year. Never did anything? Puh-lease.
6. Do you really think they care about you? SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED. IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS: Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.
No, I don't think they care about me. And I wouldn't have to care about them if 14% of my income wasn't going to Washington for Social Security and Medicare, and 38% of my income wasn't going to Washington for Federal Income Tax.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND REMIND THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.
Step away from the caps lock key. It just makes you look dumb.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you finally tired of the abuse.
I've been tired since 1972. Hasn't made any difference. Idiots keep voting for Democrats.

Don’t let some good people go! Let’s not “throw the baby out with the bathwater”! There are about 159 true conservatives in Congress, and it behooves us to keep the good ones and throw the rest out! Just because the conservatives are not getting us what we want right now doesn’t mean they are not doing anything! They are BLOCKING the healthcare packages in both houses by getting support from us and the blue dog dems. So, look into the voting records of your Reps and Senators, then make an educated decision! There ARE some very good people to keep! Be careful what you wish for...it might bring more change, and not necessarily for the better! This we do have a taste of.
There may not be many, but there are some good congresspeople.
