My former boss once said he can't remember anyone as unlucky as me in his entire life. This is just one more example. I was born in 1947, so I'm screwed.

I will now dedicate my time until I retire figuring out how to shaft them back, and get every single stinking penny out of the government that I can.

Well, according to the government. My prescription prices have gone up. The prices of the food I buy has gone up. My energy costs have gone up.

But the government doesn't think these increases have affected my budget. I'd love to see any of the politicians live on what they give us.
