I have had more phoned in "hits" on this one letter than all the combined ones since I have been writing this thing.<br /><br />I guess as far as this blog is concerned, it has become passe to post a comment. Most of the folks who have contacted me say they prefer to do it face to face. It also lets we two participants expand the conversation<br /><br /> Jeez, maybe these methods of talking will revive the art of conversation that was so absolutely killed by TV!!<br /><br />But I guess I'll keep on blogging whenever something strikes my fancy.Everetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992573194167721951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9924834.post-62005492748120924872011-06-08T21:04:14.602-04:002011-06-08T21:04:14.602-04:00I am afraid you are right, NFO.

Look at the names of the different "Offices" that will be set up to dole out the bucks and you won't like wht you find!<br /><br />Paul Ryans bill WILL NOT AFFECT ANYONE OVER 55! Everything stays as it is for them,(us)!<br /><br />But somewhere down the line, and very soon I fear, the dems denial that anything is wrong is going to come home and bite them on the ass!!!<br />If these people can't add 13.5 million people out of work, continuing job losses to the tune of 400K plus every month, higher costs for every single damned thing you buy, food, gas, heating fuels, clothes you name it, it costs more, if they can't see the what the hell is bearing down on us, well they must absolutely be the biggest bunch of dumb asses in existence.!<br /><br />Better make those gardens about ten times bigger than they are now!Everetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992573194167721951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9924834.post-85306808103046196882011-06-05T12:22:22.381-04:002011-06-05T12:22:22.381-04:00I don't know what the heck is in the 1,000 pag...I don't know what the heck is in the 1,000 page "Obamacare" rule and it's in the hands of the Congress and the courts now.<br /><br />But the idea is to (1) open up access so you can't get refused insurance if you have the money to pay, and (2) push back on the escalating costs of procedures and drugs. <br /><br />Sounds simple to me! <br /><br />But the problem is, our population is getting older, people are living longer, and the younger generation doesn't have any money so as to pay off us old geezers. We're going into serious debt because of it.<br /><br />Mark my words though, Americans love Medicare and it is wildly popular with the older voters. Even the GOP budget writers found that out. It's a tough problem.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.com
