Expect It: The market will tank and the media will scream tomorrrow and every day until they get
their bailout.

I don't care. I can ignore it.

All I have is SSI and Medicaid and if they get their bailout
they will then say we can't afford SSI, Medicaid, Medicare
anymore. And the damn foolish public will believe it.

I will not trade helping the poor get the basics of survival
for bailing out the very crooks who caused this mess.

I hope we will ALL stay STRONG.

DON'T PANIC!

Don't let them stampede us.

10. Another one on SSI
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 01:30 AM by undergroundpanther
And if they try to kill me by taking away the only way I can survive than,well,I am a smart cat and I will bite the hand and I'll bite it HARD..and FYI cat bites are quite nasty you can lose a hand, but I won't just chomp hands,It is not wise to tease..a pissed off panther.

I hate,the parasite wealthy. I hate them.They are the ones make it impossible for anyone 'normal' to live or find joy in this miserable world..So a fucked up person like me it's worse.The parasite corporation Ceo they hoard and take,the most. It is not us who barely afford to eke out survival on SSI in pain and too often suicidal..

Do not let republicans blame the poor for the results of the few wealth's greed.
Good to see you Wiley! Guess what, I'm on pain meds now too.Degenerative discs degenerated more and OMG the pain.Anyway I am trying to cope with it. I am sorta nervous when the day comes I cannot afford pain meds,I wonder,will it drive me to suicide or just make me pissed enough to stop caring,and let it out on the wealthy pigs? Or neither?

11. Actually what I have been hearing is that people are writing their representatives
telling them they are against this bailout

It also includes bad car loans, credit card debt, and foreign banks

We are really being taken for a ride

12. Those top-of-the-hour propaganda moments are insidious.
Especially the ones on NPR, but the ones on Air America are maddening enough.
