I'd like to introduce a word that has been circulating. It is the word outcumbent. With the exception of Ron Paul in Texas, and just a small smattering of straight shooters, we can slow Frankenstein down a bit in 2010. In fact, it has become so mission critical at this point-that literally our country is at stake. To give these morons more power, R's and D's alike, is like turning Fort Knox over to a security company owned by Bernie Madoff and asking him to keep an eye on it. Members of our U.S. House and Senate voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises for this year. 1. They voted AGAINST giving senior citizens a S.S. Cost of Living raise in 2010 AND 2011. 2 . Medicare premiums will go up $285..60 for each of those two years and you will still not get the 3% COLA. That's a total loss of for a retired married couple. 3. Each member of our U.S. House & Senate will get an increase of $10,000 for the same two-year period....
