This is a page dedicated to not being politically correct. I make no apologies. I feel there is way too much of that today. If you are easily offended, do not read this "Blog". It is full of political and social observations and comments. I am in my own way, attempting to educate all who want to know how our government works and how we can regain control so we can remain a government that is "Of The People, By the People, and For the People.

THE FIRST SHOTS ACROSS THE BOW OF ALL OF OUR RETIREMENT SHIPS

Here it is.......This is a clear shot across the bow of all of our retirement ships. This is all in preparation for getting the public used to the idea of a failed Social Security system. Thanks to all the illegal aliens getting benefits when ineligible and the abuses of the system by Doctors and health care providers, my generation will not have this safety net to rely on. Now with the military retirees and vets getting the shaft on the increase in health care cost, coupled with the decrease in service, how are the feds planning to take care of the vets that are or going to be eligible for SSI and Medicare? The military system is set up for that switchover when the member is old enough.......What now? Wait!..........I know!................The troops are going to get screwed all over again!!.........How nice......... There is another problem that is going to mainfest itself out of this situation.. There will be far fewer people the service a career because they will see there is nothing to look forward to. The military will be effectively gutted. That will mean a less able and capable military because there will be a shortage of experienced people to lead........Maybe that's the feds plan.....................
