“Good for the seniors so they get a raise this year. Same with the military retirees who have lost out for two years. You have to look at the bright side of things folks.....lol.”

Who will pay for those COLAs? Do the COLAs get paid from magical stimulus dollars? Perhaps it may be good for these groups in the short run but it will be another blow to the country’s fiscal outlook in the long run.

Oh well. Big deal. I tried to get people to want to cut the budget and was shown that they will not get rid of their goodies. I was on many threads today trying to show FREEPERS that we are in trouble and they all shrugged their shoulders and said “who cares”.

No, the backs of foreigners, until they stop buying our bonds.

They’re all going to wind up in the same boat, most of the country will have nothing. (Until there;s a true Constitutional government anyway).
