"Entitlement? I PAID cash for my Social Security Insurance! Our benefits are not some kind of charity of handout! (Now) congressional benefits--premium federal health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited sick days--THAT'S welfare! And they have the nerve to call my retirement an entitlement. Repost if you are sick of their crap."
(Yes. that means you can copy and paste and repost from this blog.)
These Tea Partiers are truly amazing. Being led around by the nose by Karl Rove, Dick Armey, the Koch brothers and other evil-doers, they have control of our country right now and their hypocrisy smells worse than their shit does, and their shit is the stinkiest of all shit because the vile they spew from between their lips stinks like a rotten sewer.
Since when has the debt ceiling been held hostage to the federal budget? If you think this is a disgusting display of uber conservative libertarianism at work, wait until we get around to the next discussion about how to avoid a government shut down. Surely you remember the last time? That was when our failed leader Barack Obama sold us out by maintaining the Bush tax cuts, costing us trillions of dollars in revenues. Now these same yo-yos that pushed him to accept that are responsible for not funding the FAA because they don't like the fact that it is now easier to unionize than it was before. These people hate unions! They want to pay the lowest possible wage possible, extract as much work as they can, treat their employees any way they want, and let the profits flow to those in Congress who will continue these despicable practices. And they want people to work longer and receive less in benefits for the few years they have left after they do retire.
Why are we now in an "age of austerity", when what we need is something to kick ass our economy into gear. Companies are sitting on record profits (partly by shedding every job they could and consolidated what was left so that yet more people were unemployed), oil companies get billions in tax breaks, rich people pay peanuts in taxes while they use most of the resources (and want to use more) that are destroying the little bit of the environment that's left.
Record tornadoes, record rainfalls, record heat, record heat and humidity, pine beetles on the march, grizzles in decline, polar bears drowning because there's not enough ice left for them, the oceans turning into fetid dumps, etc. and these idiots don't even want to consider that human action MIGHT be responsible. Obama has completely dropped the ball on this issue, too. Does anyone have a spine to donate to him? I'll pay for the surgery to implant it. The future for our children and grandchildren is bleak!
This post is a bit of a ramble. I'm pissed today! If the government defaults then Congressional pay and associated benefits should be the first to go.
