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.

 

 

Medical Benefits/ SS and More!


      Ok, I am back not feeling the same but back. Spent Thursday in the Hospital, after my blood pressure went up on me and hit 169/87. Seems something was really wrong, so I was at an appointment there anyway, next I knew I was on a stretcher in the Emergency Room. Funny how shit happens huh.

      After, a day and night laying on a stretcher in an Emergency Room, and being looked at by Doctors left and right and cat scanned, they could not find the reason my blood pressure went so high and my pulse so low. By the time they discharged me, the conclusion came out to Complex Migraine. I don’t know whether they were right or wrong, I just know it s Saturday now and the weakness I felt on my left side is not fading fast enough for me. If it ever fades well it won’t be soon enough for me.

        This is the same situation I talk about for many Veterans and disabled people across America and the world. Veteran’s Hospitals save lives and I think they saved mine Thursday.  I think these hospitals need to stay put and so does the benefits veterans earn serving their country.  Politicians can rant and rave and complain about benefits people get, but don’t mess with them folks, we earned them. I hear how some republicans want to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Veteran’s Benefits, you better leave it all alone, we earned what we have. If you want to know why we need it so badly check the conditions of the disabled, the conditions of the Veterans and the amounts of money we live on, then tell me you would like to live so broke and dependent on these benefits, go ahead!  Illnesses, from heart, to discs, to breathing and more hit us all and we live in wheel chairs, on canes, and some don’t even walk or talk. And you think taking our benefits away will save your budgets, and you can’t afford to help us. Do we who served and volunteered to serve or were drafted to protect this nation say no, we can’t afford to serve, no we did so proudly and earned what we have. Stop thinking about taking away or borrowing from Social Security, Disability benefits for Veterans, Medicare and Medicaid or our prescription plans or dental plans, we didn’t say no to what you asked us, leave us something in return!.

When will the real Election begin?


      This am, my thoughts return to the Election Cycle of 2012, my reasoning is simple really, what we should do is stop the Republican Primary where it is. These four Republicans have nothing to say, important enough to stop President Obama from winning a Second Term in the fall. Lets face it, they are not running to help the American People, they are running to help themselves really. They all want more publicity and notoriety and have very little actual ideas to turn around the economy, create jobs, save Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security. And what about how everyone is allowing not only our benefits as elderly and disables to disappear, including our Social Security they keep borrowing from, but now they are letting the United States Postal Service go under too. This is becoming a second class nation is it not, now?

        As Congress and the Republicans fight each other and the Democrats too, the logjam that is Washington,DC goes on and on and on and nothing gets done for the people. No new laws assisting the elderly are coming out, no hands off the Social Security, Medicaid and medicare programs is happening, and now no one wants to save the Postal System either, sad isn’t it. What do you do when your own government doesn’t care anymore about anything, you fight back is what!.

        America has its traditions, it has its ways, and it has its real leaders but they are not on the ballots, they are playing puppet masters behind the names on the ballets these days, sad isn’t it. It’s like when you take a secret and whisper it into one ear and then they whisper it into another and finally it gets to the other end of Congress and it is totally changed, it just doesn’t work anymore.

       What we the people should do is one, make all in the House and Senate lose their great benefits, their insurances, their extra funding and lower their paychecks too, why not what do they deserve really, if they can’t get anything done? We still have unemployed, we still have homeless, elderly who need assistance and care, and one hell of a lot more wrong in America. Why do we allow this to continue someone needs to tell the House  and the Senate  wake the hell up. Leave Social Security alone damn it, leave the Medical Assistance Programs alone for the people, get your grubby mitts off of the Postal System too. Stop borrowing from the systems and organizations we all need to survive and live well. In the end we borrow, borrow, borrow from China, Japan and many other countries, then beg and borrow from our own institutions and kill ourselves. Sadly America, we are indeed spoiled rotten, aren’t we?.

        Now, that March is coming to an end, and the numbers show by delegate count, Mitt Romney is winning, shouldn’t something be done to stop the Stooges Show these Republicans keep putting on?  They slap stick, kick and beat each other up and they all know their odds to win the Republican Nomination are shitty. Wake up, give the Nomination to Mitt Romney=Moe and lets move on will you?. Larry=Santorum, Gingrich=Curley and Shemp=Paul all need to get the hell out of this race and end the stupidity of it all, so America can have a decent election cycle and a chance to compare fully Mitt Romney against President Obama, otherwise, there will be no comparison will there?

 

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!
