Gov'mt House and Senate raises ...

[elwestb]

GRRRRRRRRRR....!
I'm MAD AND YOU WILL BE TOO!

Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700
and $5,300 raises.
1. They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in
2010 and 2011.


2. Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years
and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200
for husband and wife








3. Over 2-yrs The House & Senate each get
$10,000 raises

4. Do you feel SCREWED?
5. WILL your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food,
etc., increase? You better believe they will!

WILL THEIRS...NO WAY . They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past.
You're obviously too stupid or don't care. No offense; just making a point!

6. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you?





SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.

IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS AND Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE,
AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND TELL THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.




It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.
Maybe it's time for the........
Amendment 28

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United
States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives,
and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or
Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the
United States ."

Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves!!! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America .

Hmm not really,

I could copy and paste (same as you) or you could actually go read this:

Federal Empoyees (the average grunt worker like me) got the lowest COLA in 13 years this year, at 2.0%. I'm really not complaining, just saying cuts have been made even for FedEmployees.

If you didn't get a pay decrease in 2009 you should consider it as a raise. Tons of people got pay cuts in 2009.

That's one way of looking at it, but most people did get a pay decrease, maybe not from their pay check but when everything goes up in price, like food, supplies and gas , among other things, that's a pay decrease in my book.

Actually most of those items went down in 2009 but they had ran up bad in 2008. This is just like the great depression. The stock market crashed and then unemployment went through the roof while wages went down. The last two will make this a long recession.

What will also make it longer is the treasury printing twice as much money as they did a year ago. Can anyone say inflation.
