Love how a $5,000 COLA for federal judges was tacked onto the auto bailout. They can't live on $169,000 a year?!? Uh - where's mine?!?

Ordered a COLA.
Have yet to see it.
Must be because I
asked for diet??
They took out the
part that matters,
gave it to others ...
probably flat, anyway.

Oh what a hoot, got me falling of my chair at the humor of it all, nice photo too? Can you just imagine? Still say they should have put the money (Seven hundred billion) they say was to help the American taxpayer and divide it up by all taxpayers past and present and begin mailing out checks. Think of it, they could have written it all off as a charitable Christmas bonus, huh? Think of the sales tax revenue the government would have gotten back after we all pay the tax on such a large sum of "declared" income. See, it would have worked out all the way around. Of course that is based on "IF" the government "REALLY" wanted to help all the citizen taxpayers.....

Then again with all the "Bail-outs" of late, just maybe "WE THE PEOPLE" need to begin forwarding our bills to Congress too....




Be always safe,

Karen

Gee wiz
S S just Just gave me a Gigantic raise $35.00 more a month
I still can't afford my medication

Aren't kickbacks great

How can we take our society seriously when the Yankees
are paying just one pitcher $161,000,000. I heard this morning
that his pay for 5 minutes on the mound is equivalent to
the average annual family income. Thanks again, Karla, for
pushing the right button. -gene.

ARe you sure it wasn't outsourced? Or in this case maybe insourced for the few? It's all an aggravation. Great write and love the picture too. Liz

Karla, if there were even a small majority cognizant of the surreptitious political deeds that are attached to legislation for this very thing you elude to, the outcry would be immense -- you and I must take it upon ourselves to inform each and every person we can as well as to let Congress know, we are aware and oppose their deviousness and treachery -- they are not representing us, the electorate -- they are not noble Americans -- they are for the most part a den of corruption -- thanks for sharing this critical issue with the den -- peace and love to you my dear friend -- JMW
