Hey. One of the few things Rick said that I agree with. If he keeps this up, I may come around to supporting him. Everyone shares the pain — including seniors.

None of our precious seniors who helped build this great nation should be made to suffer.

Cut back on medicaid and all the taxpayer money that goes to supporting illegal aliens.

Cut back the billions Omuslim has been paying out to the Islamic sh*tholes:

Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee.
It gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/1...
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obeys office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

$3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces

$400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces

Afghanistan:$1.52 billion,$86 million above the request

West Bank and Gaza:$665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza

Jordan:$250 million,$250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance

Egypt:$360 million,$310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance,$50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance

Pakistan:$1.9 billion,$591 million above the request

Iraq:$968 million,$336 million above the request

Oversight:$20 million,$13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq
Lebanon:$74 million

International Food Assistance:$500 million,$200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis

Refugee Assistance:$343 million,$50 million above the request, including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)

Disaster Assistance:$200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia

Peacekeeping:$837 million for United Nations
peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic

Department of Justice:$17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE AWAY NEARLY $6 MILLION OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO RESTORE 63 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SITES, INCLUDING ISLAMIC MOSQUES AND MINARETS, IN 55 NATIONS. See the State Department document here.

And THAT’S just the tip of the iceberg.
THIS will blow your mind!!

They should have 2010 up, but they don’t. That’s where you’ll find Obama’s largesse towards Muslim countries really go off the charts.

Is he sharing the pain by giving up his government pension?

“Everyone shares the pain — including seniors.”

That kind of statement is absolute B/S.

A good many seniors are already living on the edge. Many can’t return to any workforce. Most are on fixed incomes. They haven’t received any COLA for a few years now. This price of everything has gone up, food, meds, just seeing a doctor.

Hell, why don’t we just kill the old bastards and be done with it.

Save up your money and buy a friggin brain.

Amen.

First and foremost, the government has no business doing social security. It is socialism at it’s worst.

There is no more contentious argument to have on FR, but it is an argument we must have as a nation.

To all those who say death to any politician that touches it I say:

First and foremost, get the welfare crowd off of SSI. Drunks, crackheads, the lame disabled, etc etc. Stop sending checks to kids because babies daddy got gunned down in the hood. Babies daddy never paid into SSI and you can’t replace financial support that never existed in the first place.

Disability should not exist from age 20 until death. It does for some. Having a hyper kid or a child that can’t behave is not fixed by a few hundred to a thousand bucks a month. Sorry, learn to parent.

Every illegal alien should be removed from SSI immediately. It’s sad that I even have to write that.

Raise the retirement age and phase this nightmare out of existence with individual choice/freedom in line with our constitution.

After you get rid of all the deadweight, the people who paid in the most should feel the least pain. However, I get tired of reading and hearing supposed conservatives who act like card carrying AARP members whenever anyone mentions SSI.

Here is my problem with anyone 40 or older defending SSI.

YOU SHOULD FEEL THE PAIN - NOT MY KIDS!

In case you missed that.....

YOU SHOULD FEEL THE PAIN - NOT MY KIDS!

My kids did not set up the program, they did not vote for these jackass politicans in D.C. that stole from it, and it’s OUR RESPONSIBILITY to fix it. My kids can’t even vote against these morons who are bankrupting our entire nation. They did not vote for the state or local governments that are hopelessly broke either. We did. Doom on us. All of you who get angry at me for writing the truth instead of being angry at yourselves, your neighbors, friends, family, and parents for electing out-of-control government are welcome to fire away. I have heard it all before.

I am sorry that you got ripped off.... I have paid into it for 20 years and I don’t expect to see any of it. I am in my 40’s.

I am tired of the many who pull out the long knives everytime someone mentions trying to reform this out of control pig. The government is hopelessly broke. Who should pay for it? You and me.... not my kids. That is the only moral answer.

Morals...

That is my .02 and fire away.

I don’t have a problem with the concept. I merely asked for more detail
