Nothing for seniors
There are no raises coming for senior citizens in 2010 due to little or no inflation in 2009. However, there is a 14.3 percent raise coming for our illustrious leaders in Washington for the coming year. I wonder why they deserve a raise and we don't. After all, we did work all our lives for our Social Security. They do not work. They get a raise for screwing up everything they do.
This is the last raise you will give yourselves. We voted you into office, and we will damn sure vote you out, starting in 2010. Remember all the things you tried to cram down our throat in 2009 -- bailouts, TARP fund, cap and trade, health reform?
Start looking for another job.

But I thought that Social Security was one of those Socialist policies started by FDR? Since it's Socialist, shouldn't Social Security be eliminated entirely? After all, there's no free rides in this country.

I agree with you. The Democrats are destroying this country and Senior Citizens along with it. Inflation, high taxes, are the effects of the poor judgement of this moronic government. It will indeed be pleasant to vote them all out of office in 2010. With the current polls reflecting disapproval, it looks like conservatives will regain the government - keep writing

Yeah, well, why is it that about the only people I see throwing away good money on stupid lottery tickets (while holding up everybody else in the checkout line) are seniors? "Nothing for seniors"? Give me a break.
