Seniors neglected

Wed., Nov. 3, 2010

Tighten your belt, Social Security recipients. Prepare to go another year without an increase, because some government agency living under a rock somewhere says there was no increase in our standard of living last year. I wonder who’s paying their bills?

Our country continues to support every country in the world with their hand out. We spend billions defending other countries and helping with their disasters. Whether you know it or not, Mr. Obama, along with your political cronies in both parties, we have our own disaster in this country. And it’s about time you start taking care of the generation that built, fought and died in several wars to maintain our freedom. We put our boots on the ground when needed and now you cast us off like an old shoe.
