IN CASE YOU FORGOT

Boo Hoo, I can't live on my Social Security check, Medicare parts A-Z or my pension from ABC Company. Who knew you would have to actually save for a rainy day and that the rainy day would actually come? The government never told me that I would have to depend on myself. They told me that I could live like a KING on Social Security, didn't they? I seem to remember that from somewhere.

And just in case you young people feel left out...why do you feel entitled to anything? Free health care? 99 weeks of unemployment compensation? In a perfect world (which this is not) this economic melt-down would remove all these MOMMY safeguards and people would have to start depending upon themselves as we did back in the "greatest generation" times written about by Tom Brokaw. Maybe every cloud DOES have a silver lining. Ours might be that this inability to pay for all of this NANNY-State anymore may cause us to get up off our collective asses, turn off "America's Got Talent" and go out and get an education, or at least a job. And for those of us who are paying for you losers out there who do neither, will demand an end to this nonsense. Paying someone for generations of inbred idleness, or because they partied their way through high school instead of paying attention and expecting MOMMY will kiss it and make it better....this may be the end of this. OR we could just increase the national debt another 10 trillion and reelect the same a-holes.

GOVERNMENT FLOW CHART


THROW THE BUMS OUT

ORACLE: It has been my "considered" solution to the world's problems to "throw the BUMS out" and by bums I mean EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN currently in office. We constantly hear about how Americans hate Congress but love "their" Congressman. Really? What's to love about him of her? I am NEVER going to give money to any political campaign nor VOTE for the INCUMBENT ever again. One term and "yo ass be outa dere."

Every clear thinking person in America understands that if you continue to spend beyond your means, sooner or later, you won't be able to even pay the minimum on your credit card, not to mention the interest. Yet, these a-holes we reelect year after year can't fathom this simple rule. And WE, though fooled time after time by "If we don't pass the stimulus package, bad things will happen. We passed it and bad things happened anyway. We will have rising unemployment... we had it anyway, and if we don't raise the debt limit we will be downgraded and BAD things will happen. We raised it and... you know the rest of the story. SO, throw ALL the bums out. If they are in Congress or the White House NOW, they ARE the problem. WAKE the "F" UP America. Your government is killing the AMERICAN DREAM.

SHIP of FOOLS

Just in case you did not get the message from other sources that our leaders in Washington are IDIOTS, the state of our economy as reflected in yesterday's stock market should wake you up a bit. I was kind of hoping against hope that when congress went on a month long vacation things would get better. They did not. It seems that like a "fart" the effect remains even if the creator leaves the room. The lingering effects of ignorance are profound. When you elect people to office based on popularity with the masses, and half those folks are barnacles on the ass of prosperity (the 50% that contribute nothing to society, especially taxes) what do we expect? To get into a good college you need a high GPA and good SAT scores. To get a job you need a resume'. To be President you just have to lie better than the other guys. Change you can believe in, only if your IQ is below your body temperature.

Real POLITICIANS Have Curves

Queen Nancy marches into the Capitol like Cleopatra followed by her fan-wavers. The little dear has had her share of nipping and tucking but from a distance she kind of presents an image of power and abondanza (abundance in Italian). Too bad she is filled to overflowing with bankrupt ideas about how everybody but she should send all their money into the government because they know how to spend it better than we do. She and her husband keep theirs. Look for special loopholes in the recently passed debt-ceiling bill that exempt the Botox-people.

WANT WELFARE? GET DRUG TESTED

Under the law, which takes effect on July 1, the Florida Department of Children and Family Services will be required to conduct drug tests on adults applying to the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. The aid recipients would be responsible for the cost of the screening, which they would recoup in their assistance if they qualify. Those who fail the required drug testing may designate another individual to receive the benefits on behalf of their children. This "weasel clause" may wind up being overused.

Florida Governor Rick Scott (photo) has made a lot of enemies in our state, which is to be expected when making tough choices. In our state the Pension system for public employees has run wild and needs some reorganization if it is to survive (like Medicare). He has lost favor if you can call it that when you were not endorsed in the first place by public worker unions prior to the election. Of course, the Liberal media and Kool-ade Drinking followers of Karl Marx on the LEFT side of the political spectrum that did not vote for him, never would have, and hate him because of his strong stand on this issue and others like it.

The LAW passed based on the LOGIC that "If you want to get a job, you have to take a drug test. Jobs provide your income. Welfare provides all your income if you are on it. Welfare is therefore the equivalent of a job. You need to pass a drug test to get your welfare pay. End of story." The law just took effect. I am sure there are lawyers all over the state willing to represent the downtrodden families with children who just can't do without their drugs and free money at the same time. Just ask yourself..."If parents are addicts, do you really think the money they get to provide for their kids actually goes to the kids, or does it go to their dealer? "
