Just ask that God be with those who lost family members, as well as those who are injured.  Shybyme; the Republicans in US House wouldn't allow that to happen because it would be spending govt money to help private citizens.  Perhaps Gov Rick Perry can persuade the Tx legislature to come up with the funding to do tha...more

The writer said we get a COLA every year, I don't think so; there have been two or three years within the past few that I don't remember getting a COLA and I didn't start drawing until 2007.
