My Farm Town Home………
Evidently the latest news according to my readings online at MSNBC and CNN is that Social Security will be reduced in 2010 and 2011. It amazes me that they can reduce something that one can barely exist on now. My father-in-law before he passed received Social Security for a year, along with Medicare Benefits, and without our assistance would not have been able to pay his bills or his medications. I ask, how the hell can they consciously do this? Oh, wait, key word “consciously”………maybe they don’t have a conscious. They don’t seem to get, that for many elderly, this is all they have and it’s monies they paid into from their wages. Possibly if Congress and many others ’sitting pretty’ on Capital Hill weren’t drawing such ridiculous salaries, they wouldn’t have to take funds from ones who need it the most. Additionally, if they didn’t spend millions of dollars to help bailout Banks and Mortgage Companies and even more to the Automotive Makers with Cash for Clunkers, possibly they may not have to take from Social Security. Neither one of those bailouts truly helped the individuals who needed it the most. The Banks and Mortgage Companies have held on to much of the bailout money for their own benefit and meanwhile foreclosures are still happening at a rapid pace. Many people who traded in their paid-off clunker cars, are now faced with car payments each month in a souring economy and job market. Had our government thought of the families struggling, instead of Wall Street, The Banks and Automakers, more people would have been helped. We lost our father-in-laws home when GMAC wouldn’t work with us, after doing everything they asked. We owned the Deed to the Property and merely wanted to take over his mortgage payment until we sold the home. They did whatever they could to avoid our attempts and basically wanted the home in foreclosure, as it would be to their benefit. They knew because of the Government bailout for Banks, they would make more money with the Government (Fannie Mae) paying off the home, then selling it once again for more money. They actually bid against us at the foreclosure auction! It’s a long story, and possibly one day I will blog about it, but it truly opened my eyes to the illegal scams taking place within the big conglomerates that hurt so many who are just tyring to make it. It amazes me everyday the greed and lack of compassion that runs our government. Obviously, they have forgotten where they came from.
So, basically I have paid into social security for most of my life, but shouldn’t expect anything in return by the time I would be able to draw benefits, which would be in 14 years? Hmmmmm, screwed once again by the government that was suppose to be there to ‘protect’ me………right. I suppose like many of us, including my father-in-law who passed a year ago, I can live my dreams and aspirations through the Internet………more specifically Farm Town,which is where I know have my land and home……..ahhhh, one place the banks or government can’t touch me! Well, not yet anyway!
