We the People,Middle Class and Below or ?


We the People,Middle Class and Below or ?.

We the People,Middle Class and Below or ?


      As the choices for our next President has come down to two men, the one currently holding the office, Barrack Obama and the other Willard Mitt Romney. One Democrat who loves being a Democrat, but who has worked with the other side for his first term, and a Republican Businessman who claims he can turn it all around. In history many have made claims of what they can do, very few every get it done, please remember that one folks.

        As soon as the November Election ends and across America we know who has been chosen, I hope we don’t regret what we did, like we did in 2008. We regretted that one not because we picked the wrong President, but because we tried to check and balance him by elected the opposing party as the congress. Sadly, we screwed ourselves with those votes and it has caused the logjam that is now in Washington.

        Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting history lesson number 1; Do not at anytime if you want the country to accomplish anything at all, put in a congress of the opposite party from the one you made President. The morass that is Washington is our fault, as the voters, we should have known better. On the other hand, it is correct to check and balance  a President or Congress, but not if you want to get off the status quo your on.  Sadly, we did the wrong thing in 2008 by doing just that, and it has hurt the progress of America’s recovery.

      As this Election cycle goes forward, both of these Candidates will have separate ideas on how to improve the Economy, Create Jobs, bring Manufacturing back to the U.S. listen closely please. If either of them talk about cutting Social Security, or letting it fade, or killing Medicaid, Medicare or Disability Payments for Veterans or Benefits, please don’t vote for them. Across America elderly citizens need Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and Veterans need their benefits and disability payments too, we live on these things because we can’t work. Unless you have an idea to improve these benefits as a candidate I will not vote for you, especially if you cut them, or still borrow from Social Security.

       It is time now, for the over 50 population, the ones who fought for their country, the ones who represented and made America great and the baby boomers of the 1950s and 1960 to have their say for the next four years, don’t sit at home folks vote in any way you can. For this year, this Election will either save Social Security, Disability Payments, Medicaid and Medicare and Veterans Benefits, or leave us all floundering about with no leg financially to stand on and live on. Fight for what is your rights and benefits, we can’t all be rich or millionaires can we?

         The decision must be made between now and November 4th, 2012, do we the people mean we the people the middle class and below or does we the people mean the rich and mighty on top? We must make that choice and decision first and foremost in  this Election.

 

Santorum is Gone, What Next?


      April 11th, 2012, Rick Santorum suspends his campaign for the presidency the day before. Now we come down to the final run for the White House and who shall occupy it for the next four years come January 2013. It is about time actually and I think at this time, there has to be an agreement between Willard Mitt Romney and the final two Republican opposers at this time, Gingrich and Paul.

        Mr. Gingrich has already stated Mitt Romney will more than likely be the Nominee, so why stay in the race and cause unrest/ Easy Mr. Gingrich wants a say in the Republican Platform, the same can be said for Mr. Ron Paul. They want their voices represented in the platform opposing President Obama and his Democratic platform. Well I am sure Romney will cooperate if you just ask him guys, it is time for game , set, match and start over.

        Still issues face the Presidential Race for both sides. The wars that rage and the battle we get involved in across the globe must come to a stop, as far as American involvement goes. We can’t afford to spread out military and budgets so thin fight other countries wars or policing them.

        America’s other problems come from bad trade agreements we have made with many countries and being the USA we are stubborn to pull out of them too. Yet they are destroying our economy and our way of life and stealing companies and business from Americans. No factories to create and build and make products makes us weak, we need to give tax breaks to companies to keep them here and lure others back home. If American Companies registered as American by their owner leave American Shores they need to be penalized and fined and taxed higher by us.

        The home market in the USA is at it’s all time lowest overall market value in many decades. Proud Americans who work day after day, to earn a chance to buy a home are losing their homes due to no jobs and inability to pay their bills. Is this the America we want, a country filled with empty homes on the side of the streets, as Americans also beg for food and squat and live in boxes? No I think not Americans Politicians need to face the issues now, and get a move on to fix the housing Problems, the problems of homeless and hungry people and our own country.

        Many of the social values Rick Santorum brought up are important also, yet right now the biggest destruction happening in American History is hitting our Economy and ways of life. We must turn it all around now, or become a Third World Nation.

         lets let te Election for the White House and November begin with an agreement between the Republicans and the Democrats, not to attack, change or destroy or remove, the benefits many Americans have earned through working years. Leave Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and Veteran’s benefits alone. Don’t ask disabled, elderly, people to pay the way, don’t take away what they live on and depend on each month. Many will end up eating cat food and living in cardboard boxes, or lining up at Veterans homes.

        Fight a fair fight to see who wins the White House, but don’t destroy the benefits and help for the needy. May the best man win of course!.

The American Dream has died I think. So many American dream of owning their own homes, having steady jobs and not hurting for anything they need. That dream of the home and the little white picket fence, and two of everything is coming to an end in America. People are struggling to pay their mortgages, rents, car loans, and more.

Americans are roaming the streets hungry and sleeping in cardboard boxes, as politicians play a game of keep away in Washington and threaten to hurt the middle class and lower classes more, by removing and doing away with benefits, why?  Do Americans of all classes and levels of income have a right to live and survive in America? Or does Congress have a right to take away, borrow from and destroy Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security and cut back benefits to Veterans too? Is this the America I served 16 years in the military for and got injured and disabled for and to protect?

They play with Social Security so well and so much by borrowing from it, that in the future even before i die, it may go belly up and bust and be gone, and I am 56 years old. Why is it the same Social Security lasted for decades and found a way to survive and exist and help so many for all that time and now all of a sudden it is going broke?  They have been using it as a bank to borrow from at the same time they are making payments to needy people who paid into it all. Sad isn’t is when your own Government cuts the people’s throat by stealing from the Social Security meant to help the people?

To kill Medicaid and Medicare is to let loose millions of people from the only health insurance they can have today. Many elderly and needed people get Medicaid and Medicare because they are ill, disabled and can not work and need medical coverage they can not afford to buy. So why try to take away what works for many, because it is a place they can save money for the Federal Budget for. come on now. Find a better place to save money from, like cut your own damn salaries and benefits and lets see how Congress likes that.

I go on and on and i know it sounds like I am ranting and raving and no one will listen, but if all Americans on Disability , Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, and Veterans benefits called their Representatives and Senators and told them stop attacking our benefits you might see the strength in numbers and stop the loss of these benefits in the near future. Fight back, call your Senators and Representatives and tell them, leave the benefits alone, we need them!.

 

Leave Medicaid, Medicare, VA Benefits and SS ALone!


Leave Medicaid, Medicare, VA Benefits and SS ALone!.

Leave Medicaid, Medicare, VA Benefits and SS ALone!


       Again and Again, I turn on CNN and other news services on my television, and I hear how Congress and the Republican Party wants to cut Medicaid and Medicare programs and prescription payments too. Then I get hints of Congress and the Republicans wanting to go after Social Security and borrow more from it and not repair it?  Then they are talking on cutting Veteran’s Benefits too and hurting the Veterans who rely on such things to survive, are you all nuts or what?

         Across America many Americans both male and female depend on Social Security each month to survive, they depend on benefits to live and can’t work. If you can’t lower health costs and prescriptions you sure as hell better leave Medicaid and Medicare alone damn it. Social Security we all paid into and many still are today and you want to kill a program that has helped America’s seniors survive? What the hell is wrong with you people, it sure was helpful when it was a big fat bank on the side to borrow from all those years, now that you have to find a way to pay it back to us and keep Social Security alive for all, you don’t want to right, it’s suddenly a Welfare costs. Up your asses you Republican Bastards. Leave the benefits alone that keep the Seniors going, the disabled going and give the elderly some coverage you cheap bastards. In the end, what you will do will take away everything you can and than leave America’s Disabled Veterans and Seniors with no coverage and bleed us dry with medical and prescription costs, then cry when you have nothing yourself in the future. Dumber then dumb you ask me, don’t you people realize not all American’s are politicians with benefits from Congress, not all Americans have rich kids to save them!. Wake Up!

        What you doing to put it in plain English Congress, is, you are asking the Seniors and Disabled in America and the homeless and jobless to just jump out of a plane flying 50,000 feet in the air and commit suicide, so you  can save money and not pay those who put into all and deserve it. Veterans gave years and years of their lives  and more for what we have. Seniors raised the current population and leaders of America today. This country did not get great without sacrifices, you know it and we do too. But the Disabled, The Seniors and the Veterans are not the ones to be making the sacrifices now for your generation, it should be you keeping us going till we die.  You owe it to your parents, your veterans, to take care of us, not us take care of you, we did that raising you. Listen and heed I say.

Jesus, and The Bible ?


After attending church the Roman Catholic Version for over 12 years of life, I was given the choice of continuing to attend church or leaving it all together, I choose the latter. Why many Catholics have asked me over the length of my lifetime now, why would you give up something you were taught for that long a period. Yes I went to Sunday School, and yes I made both Confirmation and Communion, I drew the required pictures as a child and I read the required verses of the bible. Why did I stop attending then, here comes why?

As I grew older and understood more of the Catholic Religion, its masses and beliefs, and rules, I also read the bible. So I began to wonder what religion requires you to go to a man-made building to pray and listen to someone preach sermons and prayers at you. When the bible will tell you first and foremost, God hears and sees all, so why do I have to pay an organization to pray to God? That started my investigating things a little further too.

I do not mean to infuriate, or anger nor insult any Catholic believers or Christians here, but really, please tell me if your God is so real where did he come from? This debate goes back to the old what came first debate, the chicken or the egg and you can indeed argue it forever in man’s world. The religious ones will tell you God created the earth in 6 days and on the seventh he rested, why would a God need to rest?  Then we have scientist, Doctors and Historians who all believe in Evolution or the Big Bang Theory too. Which ever you believe in, whether Religion, the Big Bang Theory or Evolution, I do agree something or some being started all we have here and elsewhere in Space. But no definitive proof of any of it is available at this time.

As to the Bible itself, whether the original version, the St. James version or any other version, it is a fable passed and built upon by generation after generation of different people and combined into one book for all to see.  Mankind learned to communicate and write at a young period in time and my belief is simple. One man began a story based on things he observed going on around him in the old days, and then handed that down to the next generations, until you have the bible as it is now written and edited to present a religious picture and belief system to attract more worshippers.

As time has gone on it has been instilled in many religions and beliefs, as to what the Bible, means in its verses and stories and legends. Yet as we all know, no final proof of such an existence or events has shown up on earth to prove the facts, one hundred percent. I am not trying to dissuade anyone from practicing what religion they wish, for I grew up in a family of two religions, Catholic and Muslim. Do I have a non-ending belief in either one, no, sorry to say, the proof has never been presented.

I do know and believe one thing when it comes to religion, all women, children and men, must have some kind of belief to pin their hopes, futures and hearts on while alive. These stabilize ones life and gives them a basis from which to live and grow on. What ever religion you may believe in, that is a personal choice of course, I hope for everyone’s sake, it is a solid faith for you and helps you through life in general and gives you a belief of where you will go when you die. If God is there and so powerful, why would he allow killing, rapes, wars and more upon the earth we live on? Why would an all mighty being be forced to sacrifice his only begotten son to save humanity?  These questions shall remain  till time expires for all. Why would God have men representing his Catholic and Christian Faiths who molest children? No I am sorry, there is too much hypocrisy involved in the Churches period, for me.
