My Fate According to the Grand Old Party

If they take away my Social Security, I will die. No one will take care of me and I will lose what little I have.

I am currently considering what method of suicide would be best at The Hemlock Society's website. As a Catholic, I shouldn't be doing that.

However, the bottom line is that I paid into the system and there is an implied contract by/with the United States Government that by doing so, I would receive benefits when I retired or became disabled. I just want to know if there are some smart lawyers out there getting ready to file the biggest class action suit in the history of this country.

No one asked me if I wanted it taken out of my pay checks. They just took my money. Now the greedy Tea Party candidates in Congress want to take it away from us elders including the damned fool Teabaggers who elected them!

Copies of this are being sent to my Senators and my Congressman and I might just add Bernie for good measure. I've given up on Obama -- the White House website says they respond all messages but they don't. I'm tired of being rational and trying to be fair-minded while they destroy my life. It may not be much of one, but it's mine.

Friday Thoughts and Video

I spent a lot of time yesterday on my computer -- literally. It's still not up to lean, mean fighting machine status from the crash so I cleaned out extraneous stuff and updated a lot of programs I use and there's still a lot to do. This looks like a job for Batman and he hasn't returned my calls so guess who has to do it? Sigh. I am, however, pretty much caught up on your blogs and hope to stay current . . . until the next time. :) I hate housework whether it's  my home or my computer.

The result is that this post of a couple very short videos that came in this week is the best I can manage. I hope you enjoy them.

* Here are the Patriotic Millionaires stating their case in 1:47 minutes. I like these guys and gals a lot.



* Y'all know that I'm a big fan of Robert Reich. Here he is explaining, in than 2:15 minutes, the truth about the mess we call the economy.



* Here's a great video on Social Security -- 1:01 minutes and you can sign a petition to strengthen it here.



* And here's 3:45 minutes of flash mob fun at Ohio State's new Student Union. I thought it was cute that OSU prez participated and seemed to be having a blast! He has a great sense of humor and loves the kids!



Hope y'all are having a great day!!!!!

The Berniebuster!

I had read in my travels that Bernie Sanders was going to do what the press is now calling a "Berniebuster" but until I checked my blogs (which now number around 100 and thank God they all don't post every day) and learned that Bernie Sanders had the floor of the Senate. I cancelled my plans for the day and I went there and I stayed with him until the very end. This is a brave, strong committed man who is a champion of us ordinary mortals. I do allow the naysayers their stance but not here and not today. I'm against making the rich richer and the poor poorer and endangering my life and survival.

If you're interested in what he said in the 8 1/2 hours he spoke, you can find it here. As I've said before, Bernie Sanders is my hero. I don't expect anyone to watch/listen to the whole thing but if y'all can spare about 15-20 minutes, you'll get the gist of what he talked about yesterday. If you're an ordinary mortal, you will think what Senator Sanders proposes is right. If you don't, go away.

I'm pretty proud to be an Ohioan right now. My senators are doing the right thing and supporting Bernie Sanders' stance on the tax cuts for billionaires.

The surprise is that my retiring GOP senator, George Voinovich, is downright militant!!! Sean Hannity called him a traitor which, for me, is a badge of honor. I nearly choked on my cornflakes watching this short video. Goooooo George!!!!



My other senator, Sherrod Brown (D-OH), has mobilized. He has a petition and y'all can sign it to support the defeat of the 'tax cuts for billionaires' bill. He was on Rachel Maddow and sounded great!!!



I hope y'all take the time to check out the links and video. Now is NOT the time to bury our heads in the sand.

Thank you, Bernie for standing up and speaking for all of us!!!!!

Hope y'all are having a great day!!!!

Happy Blogging!!!!!!!!!!!!
