<br />They have been buying votes since 1965 when LBJ came out with his "War on Poverty". Actually, the program was to buy democrat votes and they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

I have always felt the same way. I'm 57 and I have to wonder if SS is going to be there when (if I can) retire. We paid into that our entire lives. I want my money....it is not an entitlement. I paid the money, I want it back.

From a recent e-mail...

Entitlement my ass!!!!!

I paid cash (mandatory payroll reduction) over a 50 year period for social security insurance!!!! Just because the frick'n corrupt politicians borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !!

Congressional benefits, aka. free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid, three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick days; now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements !!!!!!.....scroll down........

What the HELL's wrong???

WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!

Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side :

1- Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit

2- The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits. REALLY NOW?

Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?

3- Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care -

At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25 million a year

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the corrupt elitist politicians making legislation!!!

We're broke can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , Egypt, Turkey Croatia, Serbia, just to name a few of the MANY and most hate the USA . And now Pakistan .....home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?

There has been a FREEZE on Social Security pay increase for the past 3 years while the Congressional members have voted FAT pay raises for themself each year.

We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, wounded vets and mentally ill without treatment -etc,etc.

YET........

They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.

Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.

Sad isn't it?
