Re: [FairfieldLife] America the Beautiful
Not sure what you're talking about here. What 100% pension are you talking about? SS was never meant to be a *pension*, it's a supplement to whatever savings and pension you were supposed to have worked for while paying into SS. Divvy up jobs? Who's in charge of that and who decides who gets a job and who goes on *leisure pay*? No longer enough full time jobs? Maybe we should ask why and what we can do to create them and what we have done to diminish them. Obamacare is a good example of why we are having fewer full time jobs. Work thirty hours or more and your employer has to provide insurance which they may or may not be able to afford. When 10-20 million people cross our boarders illegally because *all they want is a job*, can we say there aren't enough jobs to go around? Oh, I know, some jobs are just below our *dignity*. I remember a day when taking public assistance was below our dignity. If someone thinks they are too good for a certain kind of job that is available , maybe they just aught to have their ego busted so they can see just how valuable they really are.

Re: [FairfieldLife] America the Beautiful
Typical Tea Partier thinking on your part Mike. Why do you buy that bullshit? First off the problems that governments especially on state and city levels are having is due to promising their employees pensions at a full pay when they retire. No pensions are NOT SS but I would have assumed you would have gotten that and had been paying attention to the pensions promised during boom times to police and fire fighters as an example. I've read posts from people who got those pensions thinking it was nice to have but really not that necessary. In reality it turns out the governments can't pay them. You know I don't like Obamacare either but for a different reason than you. It wound up being a big handout to the insurance bandits er companies. I wanted Single Payer just like other countries have. But nooo, we can't have that, it's commooonism. There is no lack of stupid people in the US.

Re: [FairfieldLife] America the Beautiful
Have to agree with you on the failed promises to all those government employees in regards to pensions, never should have been done. It's called passing the buck. Sure kept the unions happy while it was being done. Yet we see this happening on a much bigger scale nationally with all the social programs. It's not sustainable.

One guy I know had a job as a Professor of Geology at the local community college - he had full medical and $70,000 a year salary. He owned teo houses and one was rented out to me for $350 a month to cover the mortgage. I remember one time talking to him about the Motley Fool. Somehow, he got real confused. He decided to apply for his Social Security at age 60 but he was turned down. But then, he started getting checks every month from the SSA. Go figure. Anyway, after about two years later he gets a letter from the SSA saying it was a mistake and he had to pay the money back. Then, he took a leave of absence from his job and moved to Nova Scotia with his 23 cats. After a real hard winter up there he came back down here because he ran out of money and he got his job back. Then, for some reason his wife convinced him to kick me out and remodel the rent house. So, he borrowed $10,000 and took out a second mortgage to fix the place up. Then he decided to retire from his teaching job and sell the houses and move back up there to Canada. Go figure. So, he got his retirement settlement from the community college of $30,000 and a pension of $1,240 a month. He sold both houses at a loss and drove back up there with the 23 cats in a truck and a van. Now he is preparing for a very cold winter and waiting in line in Canada to get knee replacements, and he has to pay $650 a month to the SSA every month! If he had kept his job he could be making $70,00 a year with full medical benefits, he could have both knees replaced and own two houses with one paid for by renting it. This is a cautionary tale: Try not to adopt 23 cats and keep your job until you are debt-free.

[FairfieldLife] America the Beautiful: Assault weapons are very handy
MILITARY-STYLE assault rifles have many practical applications for the perfectly sane, it has been claimed. As America mourns the victims of Sandy Hook, pro-firearm campaigners in the US have warned against tighter controls on so-called 'assault weapons', highlighting the sheer usefulness of semi-automatic artillery. Mother-of-three Emma Bradford said: We have a big yard so when it's time to call the family in for meals I fire a burst of rounds into the air, it's sort of like a 'dinner gong' but with bullets. If my gun weren't semi-auto I'd have to reload between shots more like a succession of single rounds which would be ineffective because it could be mistaken for a car backfiring. However I do think America needs to reform its mental health laws. This obviously would not affect sane people like me. Texas office worker Tom Logan said: I use my assault rifle to re-heat coffee. After firing a number of rounds into a wall the barrel gets very hot, and then I hold my mug against it. If you want to take my warm mug away you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands. Huntsman and NRA member Budd Hobbs said: Normal guns are fine for deer but I'm actually after the Jersey Devil, a sort of bear/bat/wolf hybrid from popular American mythology. When that mythical chimera is charging at me I won't have time to reload. So if they found my bloodstained boots next to some massive three-toed footprints, it'd be those peacenik Democrats to blame. You can't argue with that logic, can you? Especially as I've got an assault weapon. - From thedailymash.co.uk

Ray Bolger, the scarecrow from the *Wizard of Oz* would be proud of that argument! Damn, now I'm not going to get that song, *If I only had a Brain* out of my head all day long! From: turquoiseb no_re...@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 9, 2013 3:21 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] America the Beautiful: Assault weapons are very handy MILITARY-STYLE assault rifles have many practical applications for the perfectly sane, it has been claimed. As America mourns the victims of Sandy Hook, pro-firearm campaigners in the US have warned against tighter controls on so-called 'assault weapons', highlighting the sheer usefulness of semi-automatic artillery. Mother-of-three Emma Bradford said: We have a big yard so when it's time to call the family in for meals I fire a burst of rounds into the air, it's sort of like a 'dinner gong' but with bullets. If my gun weren't semi-auto I'd have to reload between shots – more like a succession of single rounds – which would be ineffective because it could be mistaken for a car backfiring. However I do think America needs to reform its mental health laws. This obviously would not affect sane people like me. Texas office worker Tom Logan said: I use my assault rifle to re-heat coffee. After firing a number of rounds into a wall the barrel gets very hot, and then I hold my mug against it. If you want to take my warm mug away you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands. Huntsman and NRA member Budd Hobbs said: Normal guns are fine for deer but I'm actually after the Jersey Devil, a sort of bear/bat/wolf hybrid from popular American mythology. When that mythical chimera is charging at me I won't have time to reload. So if they found my bloodstained boots next to some massive three-toed footprints, it'd be those peacenik Democrats to blame. You can't argue with that logic, can you? Especially as I've got an assault weapon. - From thedailymash.co.uk
