NOT just another anti-Obama screed...

I will not being receiving $250.00 senior citizen payment from the federal government, as I remain firmly ensconced in raging resistance to the fading glow of my middle age years. Eligibility still a few year off, I think, which endeavor daily becomes more troublesome. But enuff about me.

Not long ago, sufficiently recently that even us of shortening short term memory recall, the President demanded that every one of his cabinet members immediately reduce their Department's current expenditures by $100,000,000.00 annually because the nation is bankrupt, broke, penniless, the biggest debtor in the entire history of the world. Our sovereignty is in jeopardy as the Chi-coms, Saudis and other despots own more than 70% of our nation's debt.

Faced with this unprecedented crisis, the President stated that the federal government would need to fund vital programs, and delay until we could afford them, programs that while worthy, are not essential, as is deficit reduction. Now, Social Security will not get an inflation increase this year because we are experiencing deflation. So, based upon a rational formula, the government gets to save several billion dollars w/o. causing painful sacrifices by our vulnerable seniors on fixed incomes.

Not so fast, my friends. Having made the case that we must stop robbing our children and grand children's future right to economic security, the President offers to pay every senior in America $250.00, because he likes them all and he wants to be worthy of their gratitude.

Oh well, we should all be grateful that hypocrisy is the honor vice pays to virtue, when saying one thing (right) and doing another (wrong). Maybe, he thinks we forget what he says after just 48 hours, the expiration day on his commitments? Just saying...
