People on social security and disability need to raise 7 kinds of hell with the CROOKS in Congress and Senate and demand term limits for these thieves.
No more raises,stop the perks and limit their staff.
Why aren't the America people doing any thing about the crooks.

WELL I AM VERY MADD BECAUSE THE US GOVERMENT SPENT 3 BILLION FOR THE
CASH FOR CLUNKERS PROGRAMS AND PEOPLE ON SOCIAL SECURITY DIDN'T GET
ANY THING SO TELL ME HOW CAN THING'S GET BETTER FOR US IF THEY [REP]
AREN'T GOING TO HELP THE POOR PEOPLE GETTING SOCIAL UNTIL 2013 I MEAN WHAT DO YOU ALL WANTE US TO DO UNTIL 2013 SOME OF US CAN'T WORK AT ALL AND I HAVE A TWINN SISTER WHO LIVE'S IN COLUMBUS GA WHO HAS CROM'S AND SHE HAS BEEN OUT OF WORK SINCE 2005 BECAUSE SHE WAS SO
SICK AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO CAN WORK GET THEM OFF OF THE SSI AND SOCIAL SECURITY BECAUSE I BELIVE THAT IF THE GOVERMENT CAN SPEND BILLIONS ON RAISE TAXIES FOR DUME THING'S THEN YOU ALL NEED TO FINE A WAY TO HELP PEOPLE WHO CAN'T WORK BECAUSE THEIR ARE GETTING
SOCIAL SECURITY/SSI STOP SPENDING MONEY ON WAY'S TO MAKE YOUR SELF
RICH AND OTHER PEOPLE SUFFER BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING MY SWEET 16 ON
TV AND I HAD SEEN RICH PARENT'S WAST MILLIONS ON A BIRTHDAY PARTY IF THEY CAN DO THAT THEN THEY CAN PAY FOR HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA AS WELL SO I THINK THAT PEOPLE IN DC ARE VERY HAT FULL AGAINT'S THE POOR

SO THERE IS NO INCREASE IN SOCIAL SECURITY, WELL LET ME TELL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SOMETHING. DON,T ASK ME TO SUPPORT YOUR SORRY DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE, OR THE NON-CARING REPUBLICANS THAT STAND ALONE. I WILL NOT PUT UP WITH THIS! THE CHARITABLE ASSOCIATION DOWN THE STREET WANTS A HAND OUT. WELL THERE NOT GOING TO GET IT FROM ME OR ANYBODY ELSE. I TOLD THEM TO GO GET FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
THE LADY DOWN THE STREET WANTS EXTRA MONEY SO THAT SHE CAN TAKE CARE OF HER FOUR KIDS, SHES A WIDOW ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND HAS A DEADBEAT EX-HUSBAND THAT PAYS NO CHILD SUPPORT. I TOLD HER I HAVE MONEY, BUT YOUR NOT MY PROBLEM, WHY DON,T YOU WRITE A LETTER TO THE GOVERNMENT DEMANDING A INCREASE IN SOCIAL SECURITY. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE THAT HAVE MONEY WILL HOARD THERE MONEY REGARDLESS HOW BAD THE ECONOMY IS OR WHETHER THE MINORITYS OF WOMEN THAT HAS NO MONEY IS GOING TO GET IT OUT OF ME NO THERE NOT!

I am a disable woman with child since 2004. I worked in the USA for more than 19 years. I live on a Retiree, Survivors, Disability benefit since 2006 on a Wage earned basis. Basically, it means I worked for what I am now receiving from the government. The government rather take it away from the truly deserving individuals who have worked practically all their lives and send more troops to war. Nice tactics.
Chaos.

That was a very good post! The tips are good, bit it is very difficult to follow them, well according to me, one should try semenpills to increase prodcution, volume and flavour. Yes its possible to do naturaly, but it will surely help the casue lot.
Thanks

I have not heard why we are not getting an increase, and who is orchestrating this.

Unfortunitaly I helped elect obama,...I never voted a straight republican or demorcratic ticket in my life,..at this point I'm totally FED UP WITH ALL POLTICANS !!!!!! The Bush Regime ruined this country beginning with the Patroit Act,..now everything is systamatically being taken from us by ALL POLITICANS !!! Whatever rights,monies,benifits we have left,..it's just a matter of time,..going back to Regan,(and probably before him)ALL U.S. PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN ROBBING SOCIAL SECURITY TO PAY DOWN THE NATIONAL DEBT ,LET'S NOT FORGET "STOP LOSS" whereby any military personel can not get out of the military when thier time is offically "UP",.. NO, they are made to do non ending "tours of duty" unless of course they come back in a body bag,...WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY ????!!!!AS far as I'm concerned,..it doesn't matter whether or not you vote, this country is on a down hill slide that I personally don't ever see us coming out of,...so bend over and kiss your posterior GOODBYE !!!
