Biden wants Medicare cut to pay for bill that benefits investors and corporations
The government has once again decided to turn on the American people. The latest is a multi-trillion dollar boondoggle - pushed behind the mask of infrastructure improvement - that will just use more of our money to add profits to investors and large companies already rolling in cash. The White House doesn't even attempt to … Continue reading Biden wants Medicare cut to pay for bill that benefits investors and corporations
Tax Time: that 401K / IRA may end up costing you more than just investing for Capital Gains
Some readers, who are old enough to remember defined pension plans weren't just for unionized workers, may still think they are better off with IRAs and 401Ks, originally sold as tax-free until you retire. Advice from employers promised the new plan was better than a pension.

“TRUST” Act can end Social Security as we know it – fast track rules for approval – only two hours debate!
American politics' number one weasel and 2012 Bilderberg attendee, Willard "Mitt" Romney (R-Utah), is pushing Congress to appoint special commissions to "reform" (cut) Social Security and Medicare under the guise of Homeland Security.

Young couple (drive two Ferraris and own a $700,000 home) charged $21 for 3-day hospital stay. Average senior pays $1,364.
The corporate exec was sincere when he explained to me why he didn't pay most of his workers a wage higher than $14.25 an hour: That rate keeps them under $30,000, and that's about the cutoff for Medicaid and many other public assistance programs for a family of three. Without Medicaid they would have to … Continue reading Young couple (drive two Ferraris and own a $700,000 home) charged $21 for 3-day hospital stay. Average senior pays $1,364.

Jeff Bezos could go on Medicaid if he played it correctly, but the average working Jill can’t
Medicaid rules changed when President Barack Obama pushed through the Affordable Car Act (ACA) and he ensured that the very rich could join low-cost Medicaid, while the working class had to pay high medical expenses, either at work with private insurance or retired under Medicare. While I'm sure Jeff Bezos would never stoop his mightiness … Continue reading Jeff Bezos could go on Medicaid if he played it correctly, but the average working Jill can’t

What government pretends to owe... The Social Security Trust Fund of some $2.8 trillion is often listed in charts - such as the one above - as part of the National Debt. This particular graphic, the latest available, is from the Federal Reserve, an institution that is part of the huge debt and is owed … Continue reading Federal Reserve is now big part of National Debt for bailing out banks; Social Security $$ not owed to us?
