Thank you Joe Biden
A check was deposited in my hubby's acct today to compensate for the deductions that have been made to his social security. It was a result of the Social Security Fairness Act. It was a small amount compared to some of the checks I've been hearing about from others here on DU, but we will appreciate every penny. It will go towards healthcare premiums, mostly.
Oh, and thank you Sherrod Brown, who was instrumental in the passage of this act (before he was rewarded for his efforts by losing his seat )

what a miss he is. I'm glad for you. 
My hubby worked hard for that! 
He's been one hard working dude throughout his life, and he was getting ripped off.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
