Showing Original Post only (View all)They want to cut MEALS ON WHEELS??? Seriously?? [View all]
I know in my area they bring lunch to seniors 5 days a week. This has more value than a few dollars a month in COLA. How low can these heartless, callous, selfish, ASSHOLES go?? Move the tax cuts up from $250,000 to a million for the rich and pay for it in part with Meals on Wheels?? When are the jerks that vote R going to wake up?? I'm so tired of them. Thank God Reid won't put Plan B up for a vote!
Am I alone in wondering why the chained CPI is even on the table when we'd already be compromising by raising the tax cuts up to $400,000? Aren't we then compromising a lot more? Why isn't lifting the cap on FICA on the table?
i'm just soooooooooo frustrated and distraught.
