Same reason they vote themselves a pay raise while the rest of us are praying to hold onto out jobs.  They have no concept of the working Americans day to day struggles.  They are out of touch with reality, but yet, we the people keep voting them back into office based on their lies and empty promises they forget as so...more

Interesting point about checking cemeteries.  A lot of these people never collect a dime because they died and their spouse don't qualify for one reason or another so the government gets to keep all the money they have paid into SS.

At one time I was a diehard craftsman buyer of hand and power tools.  These days if you have a ratchet fail, they replace it with a "refurbished" one that works worse than the one you took in.  My son had a craftsman tape measure that broke.  They don't carry them any longer so they replaced it with a crappy Stanley, a...more

After I paid off m...more

If somebody is dumb enough to pay it, let them!  I have a State Farm Visa that I never pay interest on.  They take it out of my account every month on the due date.  Never early, never late.  I have not paid interest on a credit card since 1993 and that was only because Discover changed the due date of the bill and I...more
