You would think they would have learned by now, but they haven't.
Here we are, just two weeks before election, and they announce that Social Security recipients will not see an annual increase in payouts for the second year in a row. That's great news. It goes along so well with the notice that my supplemental insurance bills are going up by 23% and my coverage is going down. The news goes along so well with the fact that they did not have the guts to deal with the Bush Tax Cuts, which means we will all see those cuts go away and our taxes go up in 2011.
Yes, this is such great news. But, they are quick to say,"We'll try to get the old folks another $250 bonus." And, yes, they are already planning billions of dollars in more, new spending. Maybe one of their nice little studies will finally be able to figure out the sex lives of amoebas.
To my great pals in Washington: Take your bonus and stick it where the sun doesn't shine, and don't expect my vote for you in November.
