2013*11*22 Friday EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS
Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home. Get your buns in here and grab some coffee or sumfin... just made a fresh pot. Wonders will never cease. No activity from the coffee gremlins today... so far.
Sorry bout this, but I must talk about some of the bad stuff going on in our Country today. I may still lose my home.... and some are NOT going to like what I have to say today.
Maybe I should ask questions instead of making statements...Whatever! OK, how many people, vets, relatives, actives, retired, disabled do you know that are having ''government funding'' problems...??? People who have worked all their lives? People who have fought, given their lives, physical and mental health to defend the American People??
I am sure you are aware of my problems with the USDA and SocSec. I can overlook the USDA situation because it was mainly a communications/understanding situation. However, I do not feel the same way about SocSec. And NO, I do not blame or have hard feelings towards the lower level gov workers. They have little to no choice about what they do or how they do it.
NOW, here is my main question: Don't you consider it a little strange that all of these who have given all they have to keep America on top, now are being penalized by reductions in SS payments. (Mine is NO DOLLARS UNTIL I REPAY $5,383 OF SUPPOSED OVERPAYMENT)
PEOPLE I KNOW....disabled vet... reduced income and wife's SSI been reduced.. will not be reimbursed for med expenses (to which they are entitled)
Man/injured vet/100% disability. Wife and children. 100% reduced and is forced to travel many miles to get updates.
Older vet...Out of country...Should have received a tax return for 2012 in 2013 has been notified will be next year sometime before he receives refund.
MY QUESTION.... IS OUR GOVERNMENT BROKE? IT THERE NO MONEY ANYWHERE FOR THE ONES WHO DESERVE AND HAVE WORKED FOR THEIR RETIREMENT INCOMES?
In my opinion, most our ''leaders'' have failed to protect the very people who believed in them, the pols, to office. To me, it appears that most of the pols/parties have been tripping over their own egos instead of looking to the welfare of the electorate.
Pix below...Anna and garden item... a field of baccer...and a foggy morning here on the mountain...
Guess that's it for the moment...Take care all of mine; go in safety always. Remember that obvious/detrimental info can direct our attention away from the actual problem. And this article may disappear in no time at all.
Many hugs, much love and lots of laffter no matter how hard it is. meems the TerMOMinator...
