The Fight for Survival of America’s Middle and Lower Classes


      The fight for the survival of America’s Middle Class and it’s working force has begun. The Presidential Race of 2012, will indeed, tell us if America’s lower class and middle class will survive for the future. We the people must decide now who is to win the most powerful position in American History and the Worlds, too. The American Presidency deserves to be filled with a man who has the knowledge and ability to make good decisions not for themselves, but for the people.

     The stance of President Obama, versus the stance of Romney is what will decide the November Election on November 6th. I just hope the American people have enough sense to stick with what we have and not trade positions!

       Before you vote come November think, and think hard, the Children of the fifties and sixties need to control the outcome of this election. We need to save the Postal Service, Medicare,  and Social Security we have all paid into the last two and there is no reason for the Postal Service to go either.

        Yes the Economy is the priority and Obama has worked his ass off trying to fix it to be opposed by his rivals in the Senate and House. If we reelect President Obama and change the outcome in Congress and give his one he can work with, the country will turn around. The blockade in Congress has to be broken to let Obama find ideas that will work.Manufacturing is beginning a comeback now, and the housing market is low, but in the end you can’t improve a bad thing like our economy is, without having support.

       The Republicans borrow from Social Security, want to kill Medicaid and Medicare and would let the Postal System die if they could. But none of that helps the American Economy or the job market does it. Manufacturing coming back will do it if you allow the democrats to win this fall. This country was built on hard work and the american blue-collar people, we need to put them back to work. We need more factories, more Manufacturing, more innovation and inventions and tax breaks to bring the big companies back to the USA. 

We need the trade agreements rewritten and improved to increase our exports over our imports and to stabilize the housing market to turn it around. We can’t sit dead in the water as a country as the bickering, blockading and bullshit continues to harm our country and way of life.

       Save Social Security, Save Medicaid and Medicare and Save the United States Postal Service. Create jobs, give tax breaks to companies to stay in this country and  correct the Trade Agreements now. We need a better America not a weaker one, leave the Military alone too, it has to keep protecting us, don’t send them to other lands and ask them to police there, just keep them here and use that money at home. That alone will help America come back!

 

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.

 

Call Representatives and Senators now!


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!


       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.

A Real Historic Look at America Today


      The Ides of March are now passing today, and the year is slowly passing away, the spring has sprung yet the Republican Primary is not done! Why is that, and why can’t the Republicans figure out how to get their shit in one sock so to say? Good question isn’t it?

       The pursuers in this Republican Primary act like they can catch the front-runner and make a difference, but they can’t and all they are doing is destroying their own chances as a party in the Republican Race for President. Not a one so far has proven at all they can take on President Obama and the Democrats. It’s a Stooges skit that is funny, stupid and a serious way to stop your own party from winning any seats in the house, the Senate or the White House. Your destroying yourselves in America’s eyes. can’t you see that?

       If the Supreme Court kills Obama’s Health Care Law and it’s Mandate the law itself can not stand either. If that happens and many Americans who can’t afford health care at all due to rising prices of medications, and care and hospital costs, guess who they will be pissed at, the Republicans!

       The same Republicans who raise taxes, have borrowed and borrowed from our Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare and taken from the elderly to give to the rich. Sad that America, must take from its elderly these days, to support its youth and kill off some of the best generations in American History this way, isn’t it?

        Next the Republicans want to cut Veterans Benefits right? They better not, if you think PTSD killings and acts are on the rise, take away the medical benefits from Veterans and you better hide. What is wrong with Congress, The Senate these days, why do you want to cut back what elderlys need and then, borrow from what we paid into and not worry anymore? Your destroying past generations, your destroying and not leaving anything for the current generation and in the end your piling debt after debt on future generations of proud Americans who have to carry on when we are gone. Wake the hell up in Washington, DC, If you can’t take care of the elderly and the veterans of all ages and the disabled, how the hell can you run a country and make it work, no wonder we are in the Red!

       Stop the bleeding of American taxpayers and stop the bleeding of our elderly and Veterans!  Stop taking away what people paid into for decades of their lives and leave it be. You want to improve things let me at your budget, I will cut the fat instead and leave a lean monster, like the average american’s household is currently being run on. No more wars, no more policing the world, we can’t afford it, No more giving to other nations pull back and take care of our own. Lets rebuild manufacturing and blue collar jobs, give some tax breaks to big companies to come back, Lets rewrite and improve the trade Agreements and start exporting a lot more than we import once more!

        In the end my friends, The Republicans are killing their own chances, the Democrats are land locked by them in Congress and the Senate. We have no consensus, no way to move forward that works, and the politicians all play patty cake together in the end.

       To improve what we have, to represent the people, the politicians in Washington, DC, duly elected by us the American people, have stopped representing us, are only representing the rich, we should throw out those who do this and get normal citizens elected once more.

 

 

Aging and the Problem with it


Ever notice when your young, you want to be older to do all the things adults do, like drinking, smoking and others items, but when you get old enough to do them you don’t have the time, or health or want to do them anymore?  When your young your body os healthy and you can take on anything, try anything, and get away with anything, because your young, but when ya get older you get cautious and smarter.

         The biggest problem with aging is simple not only do you do it mentally and experience wise but you do it physically too. Imagine if you would, being a virile young 16-year-old with the same knowledge you have at 30? The things humanity could do then right? We would all be like Supermen and Superwomen, smart and still energetic and strong enough to do it all!.

        The problem with aging is, that after you get to a certain age, 50 and up, everyone starts to look at you as a senior and no one bothers to help you.  The next biggest problem with aging is, people want to take away the benefits you earned that you paid into all your life and you expect to have for retirement or assistance. Why? I will never understand it that’s for sure, but when one has to fight to keep Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, or Disability or all of the above something is really wrong. We all paid into these plans, in good thoughts and for our own security when we do age, but now, Congress wants to take it all away from us.

        Before I go on, there is one thing for all to remember, I know, I know, your all going to say, there are too many of us baby boomer children for these programs to pay for  and it will put the country broke. I give you my thought on this one, we didn’t ask to be born a part of a baby boomer spurt or era or years, but we are here and we deserve what our ancestors and mothers got for assistance also, we paid in. So stop trying to blame the numbers of elderly for the problems in Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and stop borrowing the money from our assistance programs we paid into for other things in government, and lets replace what you took out and borrowed and no one will hurt without benefits then.

        The problem with aging is looking back and knowing now that if you had the hindsight at a younger time in your life you would have done things different, We can’t roll back time, nor can we ignore what sits in front of us. Due to the fact the 1950s and 60s, produced a baby boomer population we now have roaming America, you can’t take from them the benefits they earned working and paying into all their lives. Wake up and leave the elderly alone, stop borrowing from Social Security, leave Medicare and Medicaid alone, what else will we have in our old age?  Before you touch these programs and harm us aging americans and your forefathers and mothers, stop and think, what will you in the end have to fall back upon once we are gone, if you destroy Social Security and Disability payments and take away Medicare and Medicaid now? Unless you come up with a better solution, I suggest you fix what exists and make it solvent and reliable for the future.

        Other wise, those who can’t afford to buy their own insurance and who rely on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, will come knocking at your doors in rural america and asking you for help personally. Would you like millions of baby boomers on your doorstep asking why you cut benefits from them. I think not, so wake up!
