A clip of Sarah Palin defending her daughter, Willow's, use of the word "fagg*t" by flat out lying about someone calling "her little brother Trig" mean names on Facebook:

If the repugs don't play idiot by voting down H.R. 5987, everyone will get a one-time check for $250, just like last year.
Perhaps we can all hope for runaway inflation and skyrocketing prices in the coming year so that there can be a hefty COLA increase in 2012.

Prices are already up and I'm still paying more for supplemental insurance, gas is up utilities are up, so maybe ssoc shouldn't be tied to inflation in the first place.

My premiums have increased 130% in 3 years. My pay has not increased one damn dime. So while those of you who still have jobs are complaining about your pay, at least you can work over time and earn more, or get another job. Those who are on a fixed income cannot earn more that what the government tells us is our maximum, that being the poverty line.

I would create a 'necessities' index. That index wouldn't have things like new or used car prices or clothing. People on a fixed income aren't buying cars every year, and certainly not new ones, and there are any number of alternatives to purchasing new clothing at retail price. The index would be comprised of only those items that impact the majority of people on a fixed income - health care, transportation (gas and public transit), utilities, and food. Pretty much everything else folks can figure out a way around or do without, but health care, food on the table, heat coming out of the furnace, and being able to get around seem like the necessary basics.
Since health care costs are critical to you, I assume that you vote a democratic ticket and are lobbying your representatives for universal health care.
