Sheesh. Doesn’t anyone in Obumbles’ coven know how to use Google or Bing?
To: Doogle
You know, one would THINK that he would have ONE SINGLE COMPETENT PERSON on his staff that would research this at the USPTO, or even FREAKING GOOGLE IT.
It looks to me that maybe they didn’t trademark it, myra.com apparently belongs to someone else. Whether or not MyRA is trademarked by them, I don’t know.
Worthy of note, in the USSR, the concept of a “patent” made no sense, and is still hard to explain to people in Russia; if you invented something, you might get an award or some recognition. If you invented something BIG, you might even get a nice apartment or raise in rank. But what you invented belonged to the people.

They don’t care. They just toss stuff out there and if someone objects, uh, they get a “talking” to by one of the alphabet contingency ops groups.

Wasn’t Myra the name of the vehicle in a SciFi series?

President of a South Dakota-based financial services company has been fed to 120 ravenous dogs. Yep, he's going to get "Janged".

MyRa already taken?
Well yeah.
based on the book by the degenerate Gore Vidal. Guess some bright spark in the speech department sub-conciously made the association.

Indeed; Obama has already laid the prelude to that with his looting of GM by disenfranchising senior debt holders and funneling money to the unions.

At my age I can recount a whole lot of money that was forcibly removed from my pay as ‘social security taxes. The government passed a law and that's all she wrote, you pay or you get prison. I seem to recall fedzilla passing a law which forced any holders of Gold backed currency or physical gold to turn it in for ‘federal reserve’ related sham wow money. Fedzilla will not be denied don’tchaknow.

You are right on the money. Putting up another gov’t. savings program isn’t going to help if there’s nothing to put into it. By the time everything was deducted from my check & bills were paid(pre retirement) I had nothing to save. By working 10 yrs. past full retirement age,I was able to put a little in savings from the Soc.Sec.,but now it pays little to no interest. Saving it through a gov’t. program now would be really risky.
