Pols need a

dose of reality

Our raises for Social Security and disabled. Well, as usual, I haven't heard anyone else, but as for me, I got $35 raise and my spin down was $196 went up to $231. There goes your $35 raise. Our government -- Congress, Senate -- all need to have to pay Social Security and health like the rest of us and they might get off their cans and work. And, I think they need to do something.

Focus on

the Green

If clean energy is really such a benefit for everyone, ask yourselves this--why would they allow the tax credits to expire in 2016? Shouldn't they have the tax credits to continue on to make the programs extend as long as possible for as many people to get as much benefits of the "Green" program as possible? Sounds like they are just tweaking the program where the rich come in, get their benefit right off the top and those poor people at the bottom that are scraping just to get the benefits, don't get it at all. Isn't that just the way these tax programs work? The 99 percent get nothing while the one percent get all the cream all the time. But, then, again, just my opinion now, isn't it? Maybe these people that are protesting the one percent are seeing something that's occurring not only in Congress, but on Wall Street and in the Green Movement. Maybe they should be focusing there also. You think?
