HERE IS ONE TO TWIST YOUR TWINKIE -- if you don't know how to curse yet, I am certain you will after you read this one!
According to the Trustees for the Social Security Administration,
" THERE WILL NOT BE A COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS IN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS." ADDITIONALLY THEY WILL RAISE YOUR CO-PAY FOR YOUR RX MEDICARE BENEFITS!
They, the Congress (BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS TOGETHER) say no increase is warranted because of the losses in gross national product and other cute things..
NOW HERE, SPORTS FANS, IS THE ONE THAT WILL FLIP YOU OUT!! --
THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION IS FUNDING TWENTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS-- LET ME REPEAT THAT AMOUNT SO YOU UNDERSTAND IT...$24,000,000.00 DOLLARS FOR NEW ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS PROCESSING FOR OUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS!!
THEY ARE OBTAINING THESE FUNDS, AND I QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY
WEBSITE...............
"THIS MONEY WILL COME FROM THE SAVINGS TO BE GENERATED FROM WITHHOLDING COST OF LIVING INCREASES FOR 2010 & 2011 in SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR THE ELDERLY AND A $2.00 INCREASE ON ALL MEDICARE RX BENEFIT CO-PAY."
Please excuse my FRENCH, but do the words " BULL SHIT" ring a bell?
Please pass this to ALL your friends and ask them to PROTEST TO THE IDIOTS WE ELECTED TO CONGRESS who, by the way, have just voted themselves ANOTHER 3% SALARY INCREASE!!!
We must put a stop to this outright thievery! It is THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE, BOTH
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS, WE CAN'T FIRE THEM, BUT WE SURE AS HELL CAN NOT RE-ELECT THEM, and WE CAN IMPEACH THEM or DEMAND RECALL ELECTIONS!!! HOW ABOUT WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND DUMP THESE CLOWNS?
Just watch. They will spend this money and find the software doesn't work, dump the whole thing and go back to the old steam driven system just like they did with air traffic control several years ago. Don't worry though, they've got health care all worked out...for themselves...
So here is what we CAN do....
All I ask is that you consider the suggestion here.
The entire Congress of the United States is corrupt. And I mean both Houses and I both major parties.
I realize that a few members of each House are trustworthy, but, as a group they are absolutely the most corrupt bunch to ever disgrace our nation.
In November of 2010, the entire House of Representatives will stand for re-election; all 435 of them. One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand for re-election. Vote every incumbent out. And I mean every one of them. No matter their party affiliation. Let's start all over in the House of Representatives with 435 people who have absolutely no experience in running that body, with no political favors owed to anyone but their own constituents. Let's
make them understand that they work for us...
They are answerable to us and they simply have to run that body with some common sense.
Two years later, in 2012, vote the next third of the incumbents in the Senate out.
We can do the same thing in 2014, and by that time we will have put all new people in that body as well.
We, the people, have got to take this country back and we HAVE to do it peacefully..
That's what the framers of our Constitution envisioned.
I am also suggesting term limits on the NEW BUNCH --8 YEARS FOR REPRESENTATIVES AND 12 YEARS OF SENATORS.. NO EXCEPTIONS. THE LONGER THEY STAY IN OFFICE THE MORE POWER THEY GET. THEY LOVE IT AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET RE-ELECTED.
WE HAVE TERM LIMITED THE PRESIDENT -- NOW LET'S TERM LIMIT THE LEGISLATORS.
Please, if you love this country, send this (as I have done) to absolutely everyone whose email
address appears in your address book..
This thing can permeate this country in no time. Let's make it happen.
VOTE THE POWER ABUSERS OUT........LET'S TAKE AMERICA BACK!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING IN OUR COUNTRY, THEN DO NOTHING.........
No one is irreplaceable, so let's replace the elitists.

This old crap again.
I guess if at first you don't succeed... make the font bigger, stretch the "truth" even further, and then send it around the Internet again!
Do they really think that 24 million dollars means anything in the Social Security budget? They send out 50 million checks a month. They could literally shave 50 cents from each check for one month and come up with that for their upgrades. This wasn't some great swindle.
I also love the assumption (with no proof) that the upgrade will naturally fail, because no money invested in new technology has ever actually done any good. Lets just stop trying to make things better because there's a small chance it may not work.
Finally, are wingnuts now crying because there are lower benefits being paid out in this government run socialist redistribution program?
False, as you might naturally expect: http://factcheck.org/2009/12/electronic-medical-records-for-congress/
Also, "Twist your twinkie"? WTF kind of saying is that. I can't figure if it sounds more dirty or just plain stupid.
Yeah, the twinkie line had me
shaking my head. Who the hell
talks like this?
IF I WRITE IN ALL CAPS AND IN BOLD IT MEANS IT'S TRUE!!! ESPECIALLY IF....
I HAVE RANDOM ELLIPSES AND....LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!
Sometimes I write NOT in caps too! And CENTER things! And sometimes I like to put one lonely
word
on a line all by itself!!
And babble on and on with blocks of text with occasional RANDOM CAPS and EXCLAMATION POINTS! that help to DRIVE HOME the fact that GOVERNMENT is horrible! HORRIBLE!
And I ALSO do things like point out that $24 million dollars is really $24,000,000 oh my god, I can INSERT ZEROS, which I have to do because you're probably too stupid to figure it out yourself!
Like government, which is STUPID!! We should GET RID of all of the current representatives and elect people with NO EXPERIENCE! Who have COMMON SENSE like me!!
OMG!! AMERICA!! Be glad I haven't found the fancy-colored-font tags yet! Then it will be ALL OVER!
Huh, that's funny. I thought that conservatives and old people were opposed to taxation, despite having grown up in and benefitted from one of the most tax-heavy periods of American history.
Maybe they're under the impression that Social Security is a private company the government wants to get its paws on. Kind alike Medicare.
Social Security will not be available for other generations, for the most part, once the so-called "greatest" generation is gone. We're paying into SS now to fund them bc people have ended up living longer than expected; that generation never paid enough into it to fund them at the levels that they continue to enjoy. Yet they're mainly the ones complaining endlessly about socialism and how some brown poor person is making them (the olds) unhappy.
Both Dems and Republics are making a grab for Soc Sec, though, even though there are some very simple ways to keep the coffers filled, such as doing away with the cap on the soc sec deduction from income. However, why should obscenely wealthy people pay their fair share? Since the days of Reagan, conservatards have eagerly danced to the siren song of how the uber rich should never have to pay taxes, while demonizing anyone on welfare.
Sigh. So we will lose soc sec, I feel, in the long run. But the weirdos whose twinkies are twisted (wtf???) will not. The end.
Loser whiners as usual. Complaining about fake stuff, rather than real issues, and totally self-absorbed.
Anonymous is all over this.
Of course it's funny to see an anti-computer email forward. I'm assuming that this belongs to the same crowd as the Devil Computer incident. Because anyone else would realize that it's insane that doctors still need to go find a physical piece of paper that may or may not even be at their location in order to look up patient information, and that the upgrade will pay for itself faster than you can say "Keep your government hands off my Medicare."
APU: "Silly customer! You cannot hurt a Twinkie"
