Nuts!!!

Political show!! We need to stand up to Washington DC and tell them what is going on! Did we not elect those igmos? The average 70 year old American man or woman in the US today collects less than $1000.00 per month and their drug bills are $2000.00. Yet an illegal alien can fall at a construction site where he is employed (illegally but no one is looking) getting out of a company truck in Podunk, Alabama and he is drawing disability for the rest of his life and Medicare and Medicaid. Tell me why I should continue to pay taxes and work? My sister can not get disability, but this illegal alien can!! We have children in this country that can not go to school, do not have food even once a day, but Congress and George have steak and all the trimmings. George said we have 5.5% unemployment, he better look again. I have a MBA but have been unemployed for over 9 months. Can not even get a job at the local McDonalds, because I am over qualified and over educated...BAH HUMBUG!!

Let's go faster

Yes, and we may get our country back a lot FASTER if we see to it that John McVeto is not our next president. Bear in mind that you wouldn't be getting these benefits above if there had not been a prior-scheduled general Medicare cut that required and permitted the "bi-partisan" override---because of this being election year. Why on earth would we want to fight a veto on sensible stuff like this for the next four years?

can't help but make a political comment

Holy Crap! a meaningful bipartisan action in Congress in Bush's face....To quote Obama...there's HOPE".We may get our country back.
