As I said, I'm just a simple country boy. You need to explain things
more fully, or I don't understand them. Assuming by "everyone" you mean
all 300 million or so Americans, That could come to as much as, uh let
me see... Wait a minute, my calculator doesn't go that high, I need a
pencil... Ah! I get $9 trillion. Sounds like a bargain to me, although I
don't see how it would work. The $600 Bush gave almost everyone only
helped during one quarter.
Exactly where do you expect them to get that money? Should they just
print it up? From what I heard, that would devalue our falling dollar
even more than it is now, and that $3000 would have less power than it
might have. They could borrow it from China or somebody, but wouldn't
that increase the deficit even more? Doesn't sound like a good way to
balance the budget. If I did something lie that, I'd hear nasty things
from my banker. But then, I'm not the government, am I?
Hmmm. I'm not so sure about that one, but we'll put it on the list.
Anybody got any other ideas?

You might want to spend a bit of time actually reading some of the
proposals out on the table rather than depending upon your personal
ignorance.
That is, if you are really interested.
Herring, a military retiree, is already sucking on the taxpayer teat for
his health care. |

Where does Obama get the money? From the same place Pelosi or Reid would
get the money. Taxes. Higher taxes. Income redistribution on a grand
scale.

He earned it, just like any other contracted employee who's job benefits
included health insurance in retirement.
The fact that some people, like myself, who chose *not* to make the military
a career, chose *not* to seek union employment with retirement benefits and
now fund their own health insurance does not mean those that did are sucking
on anything.

Ya mean like the $1200 that Bush recently sent everybody? Bush simply
borrowed the money from China. He knows you are good for it, or maybe
your children and grandchildren will settle up... >> Stay informed about: Good Morning Harry Krause |

It does when they whine about the possibility of others being assured
access to decent health care. Herring, by the way, mentioned his wife
was enrolled in a federal employees health benefit plan, and as a
result, he also had coverage that way, too.
BTW, millions of Americans who once had jobs that included health
insurance have lost those jobs and many now find themselves unable to
obtain new jobs with health insurance. Plus, in many cases, their new
jobs pay a lot less.
But, hell, that's the free market, right? >> Stay informed about: Good Morning Harry Krause |

No, tax cheats who don't file a return, are part of a smaller

Herring is retired. If memory serves, you had to have earned income to
get the tax rebate. Your tax dollars are paying for Herring's
retirement, too.
There's something about Herring's sort of aimless hobby-filled
retirement -a type of retirement apparently shared by several posters
here- that would drive me batty. Not having anything to do but engage in
self-indulgent hobbies...seems mindless to me. I don't even like
"vacations" that last more than a week.
Whatever one thinks of Jimmy Carter, one has to admire many of his
"retirement" activities that are aimed at helping the less fortunate.
My father in law, retired, is a lifelong conservative Republican, but he
says Carter is his model for "doing good for others" in retirement. >> Stay informed about: Good Morning Harry Krause |

You may feel better if and when you ever get a sense of accomplishment or
satisfaction of your efforts in life.
Meanwhile, keep trying.

That's not it at all. It's the utter mindlessness and laziness of it
that I don't like, as in, "Oh...it's Thursday...it's golf day," instead
of, "Oh...it's Thursday...it's my day to cook meals for the needy down
at the shelter," or tutor some kids, or something like that. Not that
retirees should spend every day helping others, but, if they are
physically able and reasonably well off, I think at least a couple of
days a week devoted to helping those who most need it is the mark of
someone who is not entirely self-indulgent.
My wife asked me this past weekend if I ever intended to "retire." My
answer: "Why would I want to do *that*?" >> Stay informed about: Good Morning Harry Krause |
