3. How many times can that be said

until the Teabaggers in Congress start listening. Kucinich is hitting his head against a brick wall-and I'm starting to get a headache.

5. Do you guys ever read the trustees reports?

In the long term the scheduled receipts don't meet the promised payments.

6. One of the things you are not considering is that the seniors

I think the rich seniors should pay so that the poor seniors and poor children so be able to live.
I have no problem with making seniors pay if the seniors have high incomes or high assets.
