Have ANY of you folks noticed how uneducated and just outright stupid the Bootlickers for the Nazi''s are?? Now ask yourself why would anyone bring up Welfare or people who are on Welfare when the issue is Bankruptcy and Seniors? I guess when you can''t think for yourself and you lack the basic knowledge to read and understand things, you are left with using whatever hate and division there is. How does some Trailer Dweller spewing Lies about Welfare help us in dealing with the VERY REAL Pain being handed our Seniors by policies and laws passed that put them IN that position? It''s sad to see what this nation has come too! Sieg Heil McSlime - Reply to this comment

Look at the picture, the dog is a full grown chichuua. She has prpbably had him for years and for most pet owners to get rid of a pet would be like givig up a child. - Reply to this comment
- Another thing i would like to bring up. Property tax includes money that is used to support our school systems. This is a good use of the money. The hing i think isn''t fair is a person pays all their life on property tax. When you retire your income drops significantly. I think it should be written into law that when you turn 65 your property tax stops. If you have paid your taxs all your life you should be exempt. I think our seniors have earned it.

The bill collectors have ways of getting even unlisted numbers. It may stop the calls for a few days but that is all. - Reply to this comment
- If you socialistic-leaning citizens have your way something will be provided for all of the seniors who are REACHING THE END OF THEIR LIVES...it''s called GOVERNMENT CONTROL. I don''t want the DADDY GOVERNMENT bailing me out of anything. Hell, the bill collectors will only be there for a short time. Then POOF we will be dead of old age. Can''t take it with and that includes the effing bills accumulated through life.
File for bankruptcy then die. That''s what I plan to do. And I am a senior. - Reply to this comment

- Noda''s car was repossessed, but her trailer home wasn''t in jeopardy because her daughter owns it. While she''s covered by Medicare and receives $968 in Social Security each month, she relied on her job for other expenses. She had no choice but to get help from Jacksonville Legal Aid and declare bankruptcy.
Legal Aid is no help. I called Legal Aid to say I couldn''t afford bankruptcy and can they help. They said my income is 20 times too high and they only help 1 of 20 people who come to them. Or something like that. Basically if you have a job and can work they won''t help you. SORRY!

- Hmmm...
Remember this - the financial hardships experienced by senior citizens; and many others, is being brought to you by the ''kinder, gentler, Republican Party,'' as quoted by President Bush and ''Shotgun ***'' Cheney during their last election. - Reply to this comment
- I completely agree with linymo and cheetah-man7. The seniors in this country are not acknowlegded at all. It''s almost as if we do not exist. What do ''they'' care if we lose everything we''ve worked for all of our lives? We''ve gotten to the age that we have just a few years left to live (if we''re fortunant), so why throw away effort and money on us. Right?

- Anyone who uses the American healthcare "system" goes bankrupt.
They may have insurance, but the company simply finds a reason to deny the claim.
It''s your money or you life.
Nice "system". - Reply to this comment

- This is what the last eight years have done to most of us struggling to live. Now there are still so many folks who want to extend these years of misery by allowing McSame to carry on with the same policies for another four years??? He has SEVEN homes and thinks that being rich is when you have only FIVE MILLION $$$$. How can anyone be so blind and be unable to see that McSame will destroy more lives???

- This is a disgrace! Older folks should not have to endure such hardships at this time in their lives. This country is falling apart at the seams! My best wishes to Ada during this trying time. May God bless!
