In the midst of soaring unemployment statistics, home foreclosures, vehicle repossessions, middle income children having to brown bag it to school, and plummeting deflation, just why should there be an increased Cost of Living Allowance for Social Security recipients? I mean really? Our country has maxed out with the concept of being paid to not produce, as it is. Now there is a big brouhaha brewing over no raise for those that have "earned it" by staying alive another year. Why don't we simply admit that for the most part, a large percentage of Americans do define the Constitutional right in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; as being paid to do nothing and produce nothing! Aren't raises usually performance based? It would appear we now have that a large percentage of Americans that believe they are doing such a great job at collecting for non-productivity, they deserve a raise! I read an article the other day that gave the figure that 50 million people in America are collecting Social Security or Disability. Clearly the recession cannot be nearing an end, if the percentage of the population with the most expendable financial resources do not get a raise.
. . . the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. the Gospel
