I know math is hard for you Liberals, but this is pretty easy to understand - even for you. Bush, the conservative, turned a budget surplus into a budget deficit. I'd say math wasn't one of his, or those who stood by and watched, strong points. Logic isn't a strong point of someone who would make a sweeping statement as you did. |

Yep, like Harry on the left, that's what ****es me off. Wide sweeping generalizations just aren't good intelligent debate. Me for instance, I've got more math under my belt that many, many people, and always done well in it. As a matter of fact that's why I do what I do for a living. And guess what? I'm pretty damned liberal! |

wrote: And if you don't think that the President is after seniors/elderly, consider this - Social Security is not going to be giving out COLA increases for the next two years - yet, Medicare payments are going up by 3% the first year and 5% the following year - a net loss of 8% to those who are dependant on SSI over two years. I just went on SS this year, so I'm hoping the Reps will force the Dems to fix this up. Maybe end up with a 15% or so increase in my SS check. Preferably before the year is out. Best scenario would be for a Rep to actually introduce a bill, instead of simply being forced to vote for it. That would be sweet. Pretty nice seeing the Reps jump on the entitlement wagon, what with Bush's unfunded Plan B benefit for the elderly, and now their pushing for higher SS payments. Shows they care for old folks, and are the opposite of the death panel pushing Dems. Remember the gas station price wars? Sort of a reverse version. Politics is great stuff.

The Reps are vociferously defending Medicare, by accusing the Dems of undermining it. Like I said - SWEET! Never a better time to be an old folk, even at 62. Pretty confident now that SS and Medicare can only get better with the Dems and Reps in a bidding war. BTW, I just heard John McCain tell his town hall we have to ensure our kids and grand kids have SS and Medicare too! SWEET!!! --Vic |

God bless the USA!! --Vic I got my first check April 1, this year, although being declared permanently totally disabled April 1, 2004. It took them that long to get it straight. Being awarded SS benefits is different than getting the check every month. Steve |

Gosh, I suppose that's enough reason for Obama to quadruple it. Just blame it on Bush. Don't you think you could come up with something other than the 'Bush Rationale' for the stupid **** Obama does? -- John H "If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it's free!" --Anonymous |
