And this small tidbit from our friends at American Thinker
An article entitled: Will Old folks get in the way of our brave new world?
It speaks of an article in the stimulus package that quite possible restricts the elderly from medical care under one of the provisions that must not have been read too closely yet by most of the Congresspersons!

Why -the Demoncrats always try to scare the older population by saying that the GOP will take away your social security and THEN put a program in place that will just kill you by denying medical care so they don't have to pay you any of the entitlements afterall!!!
What a wunnerful life it is these days!
Here is the link!
And then read this comment to that article that I found pretty scorching!!!

Amen brother! As a generation the boomers were the worst to ever walk the earth in this country. They were given everything and leave behind nothing but a footnote on how to lose your soul; the title of the entry is "sex,drugs, and rock'nroll".

You mean like it was before a majority of Democrats voted to
You mean like it was before a majority of Democrats voted to
place it in the general fund. When your SSN was a Social Security
Account Number. Yes, they tracked who paid. No pay in, no benefits paid out.

Enough about that and how about this?
Who is Jennifer Rubin?
Who is Jennifer Rubin?
Jennifer Rubin is hoping its all one big joke:
This is an odd way indeed to combat a recession. Usually, the president and treasury secretary in an economic crisis try to project calm, certainty, and a sense of command. The Obama administration approach is something new indeed. Perhaps it is some Zen-like exercise to “be the panic; own the fear!” Whatever they are doing they should knock it off. They’re going to scare the living daylights out of markets, consumers, and businesses.
Even the press can't remain somnolent forever. There is such a thing as an instinct for self preservation and eventually, the media will wake up to the sad fact that no one is in charge and no one has a clue about what to do.
Scary indeed...

This from the American Thinker writer in an article also sums up my feelings...
"Those American Thinker readers who are familiar with the twin bailout bills (the TARP bill passed by the Democrat congress under President Bush and the “stimulus” bill passed by the Democrat congress under President Obama) know that there is almost nothing in either bill for the “average” American."
I say-Joe American is always the one who gets screwed...
Read IT!
