Don't get old, don't become poor and don't sick...

[Javaman]

Otherwise you will be fucked in a very short time.

This supposed emergency by moron* over SS and trying to force the personal accounts down our throats will screw those who now live pay check to pay check. There are a majority of Americans, that can't save because they don't make enough to do such a thing. So this personal account bullshit will screw them if the market ever takes a nose dive.

Now that the real numbers for the drug program for Medicaid have been released, if you live on a fixed income or are in the check to check situation that I have mentioned above, a word of advice, don't ever get sick or develop something that requires a life long prescription, you will be screwed. Being sick will be a luxury, it's to expensive.

And once again, if you live pay check to pay check, and make little to no money and rely on a gov't program to make ends meet, forget it. Because moron* can't balance the budget let alone his own check book, he is cutting the basic programs to the poor that make life survivable. If you need that gov't aid to help you put your child in day care, while you work a minimum wage job, fuck it! You're screwed.

Annnnnd, while we are on the subject, since moron is cutting all these programs back, that means people will be "let go" or "laid off" fancy words for being fired.

Watch how the unemployment roles go up.

And since his deficit never figures in the price of any of the miracle programs or the increases to defense spending, the budget should be in the permanent red zone for the foreseeable several decades.

Don't get old, Don't become poor and don't ever get sick, that should have been morons* campaign platform.

In a nut shell, we are fucked.

1. yep!!!

and what can we do about it? It is truly insane! It is truly evil! We can do our best to survive this time that is coming quickly! We can accept that we are screwed by this insane and evil being! Or what? I am old...change may come...but probably not in my lifetime! Could i survive without my Social Security check..no, i could not..it is survival now to live on what it is per month..and i am so muchj better off than most seniors. My life is good..i live in Mexico where i can live better than I could if i lived in the usa with the same monthly income..but i could not live here at all without that small income from social security. Now, this is me...but what will happen to my children and grandchildren in the future...it doesnt look good.

2. If you are not healthy enough to be abused in the work force to make

wealth for corporations or you are not rich enough to be a conspicuous consumer, to buy products and stock from corporations, America is not the place to be.

When enough of us have nothing to lose, what happens to their house of cards? Can they pay their security guards enough to keep us out of their gated communities? They are slow learners for a class with so much access to good education.

3. Folks, Don't You Understand??

Once they have sucked everything useful out of you...you are NOT supposed to retire and enjoy the last few years of your life...THAT COSTS THEM MONEY!! You're supposed to go meekly to your grave, having not lived a full, satisfying, creative life!

No, these fuckers INTEND to suck your one and only life right out of you, use it for everything they can get out of it...and then take your ass to the curb in a fucking Glad Bag!!

Fuck funerals! They will merely take you out in a Glad Bag....in fact, perhaps "Soylent Green" isn't too far from the truth...they will turn you into food for other poor people!

I wouldn't put it past them...would you?
