Entitlement  my ass, I paid cash for my Old Age Security and CPP!!!! Just because they borrowed the  money, doesn’t make my benefits some kind of  charity or handout !! Gold plated MP pensions and Civil Service Government  benefits,  aka free health care, outrageous retirement  packages, 67 paid holidays, 20 weeks paid  vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that’s  welfare, and they have the nerve to call me a ‘greedy senior’ and my  retirement, an entitlement  !!!!!!…..scroll  down…………….

What  the Hell’s wrong with us???

WAKE  UP CANADA !!!!

Someone please tell  me what the HELL’s wrong with all the people  that run this country!!!!!!

We’re “broke”  & can’t help our own Seniors, Veterans,  Orphans, Homeless  etc.,???????????
But spent 1.2 billions of dollars for G-20 events!
In the  last few months we have provided aid to Haiti ,  Chile , and Turkey . And now Khanistan ,  Pakistan …… Home of bin Laden.   Literally, BILLIONS of our DOLLARS!!!

Our  retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’  receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while  our government and religious organizations pour  Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$’s and Tons of  Food to Foreign  Countries!
They  call Old Age Security and Healthcare an  entitlement even though most of us have been  paying for it all our working lives and now when  it’s time for us to collect, the government is  running out of money. Why did the government  borrow from it in the first  place?
We have  hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved  aside to make room for the adoption of foreign  orphans.

CANADA:  a country where we have homeless without  shelter,  children going to bed hungry, hospitals being closed, average income families who can’t afford dental care, elderly going without ‘needed’ meds and having to travel 100′s of miles for medical care with no reimbursement of cost, vehicles we can’t afford gas for, lack of affordable housing, and mentally  ill without treatment – etc., etc.

YET…..
They  have a ‘Benefit’  for the people of Haiti  ships and planes lining up with food, water,  tents, clothes, bedding, doctors, and medical  supplies.

Imagine if  the *GOVERNMENT* gave ‘US’ the same support they  give to other countries.

Sad  isn’t it?

Interesting article that a fellow wrote in the good old USA.  Should also mention same thing is happening here in Canada too.  Click To Enlarge.

My lovely sister Barb sent me this bit of humor so thought I would share.  I really got a kick out of it.

Frank feared his wife Gloria wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give him a better idea about her hearing loss.
“Here’s what you do,” said the doctor. “Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.”
That evening, Gloria was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Frank was in the den. He said to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.” Then in a normal tone he asked, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
No response.
So Frank moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Gloria, what’s for dinner?”
Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, “’Honey, what’s for dinner?
Again he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her and says, “Gloria, what’s for dinner?”
“For heaven’s sake, Frank! For the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!”
