Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it someday. Maybe we should all take some of his advice! A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company:

1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put ‘PHOTO ID REQUIRED.’

2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the ‘For’ line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling (more…)

It’s up to the Supreme Court now…..

This will knock your socks off! Is this what we/you want?

This is 10 and 1/2 minutes long.

PLEASE take the time to watch this eye opening video on the healthcare bill, then contact your representatives!!

Does anyone wonder why the Supreme Court MUST repeal the Obama Healthcare plan? THIS IS SHOCKING!

Like all other Viet Nam Era and World War II Veterans, I was promised when I signed on the dotted line both what was written into the contract and what was promised in the oft-stated “oral contract” by recruiters and superiors during my service. Foremost in this was the many verbal assurances that we, as Veterans, and our spouses would have free medical for life. A benefit which has already been cut by Medicare B payments and co-pays for services and prescription drugs received when we become 65 and must join TRICARE for Life.

I found in my email inbox today from Military.com (you can sign up at http://feeds.feedburner.com/militaryadvantage for the emails) a very disturbing article that Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has sent a letter to the Budget Super-Committee stating that he is OK with placing “cuts” in our military benefits on the table.

What is he thinking? Has he forgotten the trials and tribulations of those who wore and are wearing the uniform in defense of our Constitutional Republic? Has he forgotten his own service and the years in the Hanoi Hilton? Has he forgotten the promises (more…)

A few days past President Obama stated that he could not guarantee that Social Security checks would be mailed on August 3 if the debt ceiling was not raised. I wonder if I am the only person interested in what he did not say.

What he did not say:

I will not be able to get my monthly check for $33,333.33, Vice-President Biden will not get his check for $19,225.00, and oh by the way, Michelle will be happy to give up a vacation until we get this mess straightened out.

Congress will not be able to get their checks which average $14,500.00 per member. My Czars will not be able to receive their checks, (more…)

Just yesterday I was once again confronted with the immoral conduct of the Progressive movement as I witnessed an ad produced to scare seniors, of which I am one, into believing that Paul Ryan’s budget proposal on Medicare will throw “Granny” over the cliff. This ad is immoral because NO ONE, conservative or liberal, on the right or the left, is suggesting any such thing and to visually depict it graphically with a man, whose silhouette is obviously similar to Paul Ryan, pushing an elderly lady in a wheelchair over the cliff lends nothing to the “civil discourse” that needs to be held in order to solve the Medicare problem. But once again because the Progressives cannot win the debate on the merits they resort to fearmongering!

The truth is that, in the Ryan proposal, the Medicare of those 55 and over is “grand fathered” and will not change at all. The proposal is only about those who are NOT currently enrolled. In addition, it is only a starting point for the debate and NOT the end of the debate. Has anyone on the left offered a starting point for the debate? I don’t think so!

The whole of the “Entitlement” portion of the federal budget MUST be addressed if we are to save the nation from financial ruin and retain the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. It is NOT just Medicare. It is Social Security, Mediaid and a host of other social-justice programs which the Progressives and Socialist-DINO’s wish to be untouchable. They wish them to be untouchable so that they can retain power at the expense of We the People. In truth, they care NOTHING about our Constitutional Republic as long as they can retain power. In truth, they care NOTHING about securing “the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” as long as they can retain power.

The fact is when the programs were started the life expectancy in this nation was some ten years less and the technological advances of modern medicine were only dreams in the minds of man. In the face of these changes the entitlement programs for “seniors” as then envisioned are unsustainable and will bankrupt our nation in the near future. Either we change the programs to support the new life expectancy and the realities of modern science or NO ONE will have the benefits anyway because the nation will have passed into history because of the stubborn rigid and intransigent position of the Progressives and the Socialist-DINOs who will not even enter into any serious discussion of the issue.

May God Bless and Save the United States of America!

Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared “Social Security” to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.

Here’s a response in a letter from a unknown fellow in Montana …
I think he is a little ticked off! He also tells it like it is !

It is amazing how much of the general public “think” that Medicare is free. Ask anyone that is living on their social security and they well tell you that they “pay” for their Medicare benefits. It is deducted from our monthly social security and social security is “not” an entitlement…….it was withheld from our wages over the past 50-60 years!

If you are destitute, flat broke with no assets – (more…)

My last posting was about No New Taxes and how the politician’s lies were affecting my own personal fixed-income budget as a disabled military retiree on social security. I would like to clarify my position.

I realize that our nation is drowning in red ink. Because of this I also understand that We the People, as individuals and as a nation, ALL are going to have to tighten our belts. By ALL I mean every citizen – Social Security recipients, military retirees, veterans, federal employees, Congress, the White House, Cabinet Departments, schools, state and local governments, food stamp recipients, unemployed insurance recipients, etc. Beyond this lobbies, trade unions, special interest groups, etc. are going to have to put aside many of their “pet concerns” for the good of the entire nation.

Everyone receiving (more…)
