You know I don't spend a lot of my journal writing about our government but today I have to say this. With no disrespect to our President we...the retired folks on SS have been shafted by this administration.
For the last 8 years of his term of office we have had three years of no increase in our wages. What is it with that. They say that the cost of living has not gone up enough to afford us any increase but then they must have been checking out someone else increase.
Our health insurance alone has increased...thanks to the "Affordable Care Act" and I use that term loosely. Next year it will even go up higher.
Now we are going to take some of the US budget and spend it on illegals and refugees from other countries. How is it I don't get a raise but we have the $ to help out all these other folks?
This is the COLA that we have received over the last 8 years...
January 2009 -- 5.8%
January 2010 -- 0.0%
January 2011 -- 0.0%
January 2012 -- 3.6%
January 2013 -- 1.7%
January 2014 -- 1.5%
January 2015 -- 1.7%
January 2016 -- 0.0%
Before this SS always got an increase in living.
I have voted for the best man for all my voting life. I have not claimed to be a Republican or Democrat...I have been an Independent. I never vote a straight ticket nor will I this time. It is time for us to get rid of these morons who give our money away like it grows on trees! I am not a white supremacists nor am I a racist...I am an American citizen who now wants equal rights for me and my family. I am tired of taking care of the world and all its problems. I think it is time for us to start taking care of ourselves!
I worked for over 50 years of my life...payed my taxes...followed all the laws of this country...served overseas in one of the most unpopular wars of our time...was spit on and called every name in the book...came back as a disabled vet and I can't get what some illegals get by trotting across our border. And yes they are criminals I don't care how much your heart bleeds for them!
This time I am with the new movement to seal up our borders and get these hate crazed maniacs out of our country! You know it is funny to me when one or two jars of peanut butter makes some people sick they close down the factory and ban the product from the shelves so they can clean up the problem. They wont do that when a certain group of people start killing US citizens they just want to keep them all on the shelf and maybe over time people will stop being killed. And while they are doing that they keep making the problem...What moron in our government thinks this is the way to do it.
I'm sorry for taking up your time with this but I have just about had a gut full of this Political Correctness these Liberal bone heads are spewing out. I just wanted you to know how I feel about this...

Totally agree!
My hubby also served in Nam and was spit on when he got off the plane...
There's 286 more days until the Election...I'm praying...hard!
So you are one of the right wing rabid radicals who have ruined this country with you hatred. Since I am one of those you hate, I will no longer read your words in which you spew hate.
I agree with you. Well said.
Totally agree!!!

It is hard for me to believe that Jan is so filled with hate that she missed the whole jest of my comments. I see now how people get so divided in this nation. I wont have to worry about offending her ever again because she will never read my journal again.
Speedy, too bad Jan is still not around to see another positive comment for your views....of which I am in total agreement, I might add. How much warning does a country need before it begins to actually believe that the threat is very real and amongst us. But yet, there are those that advocate an "open border/door" policy. Regardless that a certain group openly profess "death to the Infidal" we tend to get all touchy/feely with them thinking they can be swayed from their murderous ways...ways that they have cultivated over the past 1500 years.....We are going to change their goal of World Domination with the acts of some peace loving advocates? I don't think so. But there are those that say "Global warming is the # 1 threat to the World...."Folks need to call a Spade a Spade.
Amen Speedy, agree with every word. If everyone that wanted to come here were allowed it would be like all running to one side of the boat. The boat flips and all drown.
FYI, SS and SSI COLA increases are based on a formula that has been around since 1973, it has nothing to do with who is president at the time https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/latestCOLA.html
Additionally, medical insurance always goes up, Obamacare has nothing to do with it. The company that I have worked for the past 35 years, my medical insurance always goes up when the new year and registration starts. So raising insurance rates is not a new phenomenon.
I am in no way defending Obama, I never voted for him and can't wait for him to leave office. But I just wanted to clarify some points.
Wow, I think Jan Goldfield is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
I still think you have missed my point altogether Fit Forlife. The COLA, your right is the determining factor in all this. However, We have the money to help out our seniors but the "Administration" Not Obama...That is the whole lot in Washington...had voted to give Billions to illegals and these displaced Muslims. What is so racist about giving it to help our people out? Why do we have to be the worlds Mommy? Our government is failing us and we need to realize that.
