Fwd: FW: Remember in November

HOW MUCH DID YOU EARN LAST MONTH?  WE HAVE TO GET FEDERAL SPENDING UNDER CONTROL NO MATTER WHO IS THE PRESIDENT!

-----It does not matter your party, take a few minutes to read this and just think about it.     A few days past President Obama stated that he could not guarantee that Social Security checks would be mailed on August 3 if the debt ceiling was not raised. I wonder if I am the only person interested in what he did not say. What he did not say: I will not be able to get my monthly check for $33,333.33 Vice-President Biden will not get his check for $19,225.00, and oh by the way, Michelle will be happy to give up a vacation until we get this mess straightened out. Congress will not be able to get their checks which average $14,500.00 per member.  My Czars will not be able to receive their checks, some of which receive $14,350.00 per month and others receive $13,208.33 a month. My cabinet members will not receive their $15,941.66 monthly check. Their Deputy Secretaries will not be able to receive their $14,350.00 monthly check. Their Under Secretaries will not be able to receive their $13,208.33 monthly check. Their Assistant Secretaries, general counsels, and heads of minor departments will not be able to receive their $12,416.66 monthly check.  My various administrators, board members, commissioners, and others will not be able to get their $11,633.33 monthly check.  The Supreme Court will not be able to receive their $17,341.66 monthly check. The U.S. Appeals Court and Appeals Judges for the Armed Forces will not be able to receive their $14,591.66 monthly check.  The U.S. District Court, Claims Court, International Trade Court, and U.S. Tax Court Judges will not be able to receive their $13,766.66 monthly check. And the Bankruptcy and Magistrate Judges will not be able to get their $12,665.33 monthly check.  The gaggle of Washington TSA bureaucrats will not receive their $8,750.00 monthly checks. The tens of thousands of other various paper shufflers who are pigeon holed in various offices in Washington will not receive their checks which average more than $8,333.33 a month. What I heard coming from the lips of the President was that the only folks that should be concerned were people receiving Social Security checks. Isn't it ironic that the only people he feels that he cannot assure with any degree of certainty that they will get their checks are the ones who need the money the most? The national average for all Social Security beneficiaries is $1,079.00 monthly, which totals a whopping $12,948.00 yearly; the money coming from a fund that most have paid into their entire working lives. Or put another way, the average Social Security recipient gets a check each month that equals about 3% of what the President receives each month; and in theory, they are getting back their own money. Never mind that the United States Constitution requires the President to pay Principal and Interest on the National Debt and then Federal Pensions before any other funds can be obligated. Anyone who  would threaten in any "thinly veiled" manner that the elderly would not get their pension checks is  contemptible and fear mongering, and using this "red herring" for expediency is outrageous.  This obvious lack of respect by our elected officials targeting our seniors welfare,  physical and mental, and the elected officials attempt to manipulate the debt ceiling discussion using senior citizens as pawns should be held accountable in the 2012 elections.
