Living life to the plus – not being political – but observing fundamental lapses of common sense all around me!
We have both believed in grace – love and forgiveness.
We have different leanings on a political scale yet we listen and see other points of view.
Recently – she posted to what I saw as common sense – a “CUTTING” of what some people call “ENTITLEMENTS”!
A few people choose to discredit this post as not being the “TRUTH”!
My answer is that for 48 1/2 years – I worked and paid for those benefits.
Those were and are a lifeline to exist after retirement.
During that time of my work life – the “COMPANY” also paid into the “ENTITLEMENT” and was considered part of my “BENEFITS” package.
I “EARNED” that “BENEFIT” after many years of toiling in the work field.
The POLITICIANS who want to end this “ENTITLEMENT” as far as I can describe –
are wealthy and more than likely never to claim this “ENTITLEMENT” –
yet to the vast majority of seniors living out their lives to the plus – it is a survivor reality.
Without it – we could not live to any old age – and most likely depend on children.
Now – to get back to the “TRUTH”!
I researched what was said – via the written word and what was said on the tape.
The key word of that sentence was the word”AND” –
The sentence is taken word for word.
“THERE IS A LOT YOU CAN DO IN TERMS OF CUTTING “AND” ALSO THE THEFT AND THE BAD MANAGEMENT OF ENTITLEMENT – THERE ARE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF THINGS AND NUMBERS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO!”
The question asked?
ASKED – “WHETHER HE HAD CHANGED HIS OUTLOOK ON HOW TO HANDLE ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY – MEDICARE – MEDICAID IN ORDER TO TACKLE THE NATIONAL DEBT”?
Now – a few people commented on her posting – saying you need to quit watching CNN and all how they twist the words!
These words are not twisted – exactly what was said.
I have no POLITICAL AGENDA – I HAVE NO PARTY – I BELIEVE IN LAW AND ORDER –
I BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION AND THE DEMOCRATIC ARTICLES AND LAWS OF THE LAND!
Also, one person began to berate her about the evil crime family – money – etc.
Challenging her to debate offline – or espousing the far-right Maga rhetoric of looney tunes!
When I presented the WORD FOR WORD – and you can read it above – there was a sense that
we – as SENIORS – are being targeted for our “ENTITLEMENTS” – even all our working lives we
“PAID” our own money and that of the people we worked for – into these programs.
Being a “SENIOR” looking down the road not knowing how we shall survive after one of us is gone?
So in concluding this blog – “WHAT SHALL I DO”?
I WILL EXERCISE MY VOTE – as an INDEPENDENT – NOT FOR “PARTY” BUT WHAT IS COMMON SENSE-
And for those who criticized her for posting the truth –
well – as far as I can determine –
you are what you are – my belief is in the poster from above-
Living life to the plus – “ONE LOVE – CHANGE THE WORLD” one VOTE at a time!
Thanks for reading and HGD!
PAPA’S WORLD – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
We are in the Autumn of life – but a life we choose – living life to the plus – one day at a time!
We have had many adventures throughout the 40 years plus we have been together.
Soon – on 6-25-21 it will be year number 39 of marriage – plus 1 1/2 years before that!
We have lived in five different houses that we owned –
Plus a condo we have leased for nine months –
and soon to be house number six in Cameron Woods – Ocean Isle Beach – N.C.
We have lived in Pa. NYS. Va. S.C. and in the new home in N.C.
All in all – every day is a new way to celebrate life – positive thoughts – challenges and moving on together!
Soon it will be here – the new home we are having built – we started out just wanting to see where we would end up – and soon it was seen that buying would not work – too much to change so we decided to build and let our lives adapt to the new future.
First – in our lives are friends – family and new people we have met and a new home church.
Each morning while sipping coffee – I marvel just how far in these 39 years we have come.
The road was not easy those early years – we had nothing but each other and kids – from two separate marriages.
Combining to sets of children – with hardly any money.
But – we made it work and pushed on.
Today we are here in our happy place – together on a new adventure – holding onto our dreams.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – ON THE AUTUMN OF OUR LIVES – SUNRISES PART ONE!
My next blog will be part two – family!
