Putin Making Progress into Grinding Old Russians into Woof Woof Dog Food to Feed Trump's Pet Dogs




No doubt fresh from secret Helsinki circle jerk talks of Trump and Putin, and Trump telling Putin to raise the retirement age for old people in Russia in order to steal more of the Russian national treasury.  Putin reportedly worth 100 billion dollars now can achieve his goal toward a trillion dollar individual wealth. *

*(Trump about to brand his Russian made dog food?)

Just take it out of the hides of your people and raise the retirement age for women from 55 to 63 and men from 60 to 65 for a state sponsored retirement check. The Wharton Global Spreadsheet at work and the American Model of retirement in weak economies where there are no fit jobs for human beings past the age of 45 in America and or Russia and or the so called civilized world.

Once your hormones fade with age, so does the attractiveness of your ability to perform like circus dogs for your CEO employers making their tens of millions in bonuses screwing little people out of pensions and decent hourly wages etc.

Soylent Green is perhaps too old a movie to illustrate what to do with useless old people. 


My all time favorite below as a microcosm now to illustrate Trump's and now Putin's tiny little ruling entourage bubble worlds where what you know as a crony does not matter as much as who you blow in order to survive etc. Betsy D etc. Whatever.

Trump has no pets. Something that no one ever dares write about it. Your won't hear anything here form me. - and - Considering the photos of his two oldest boys in their thirties with guns and African road kill testosterone proving delayed stunted adolescent bullshit etc, not even a pet cat. Meow!p

Welcome to Woop Woop, a Hollywood gem of a hidden classic

is about what to do when you are a con man stranded in the middle of nowhere, Woop Woop Australia for example, except playing old Oscar and Hammerstein movies and making communally produced Woof Woof dog food out of road kill kangaroos. Great movie stuff on many symbolic and metaphoric levels of the modern reality of people left behind from the global anti-human spreadsheet etc.

Thousands of people have taken part in protests in cities across Russia to express their anger at government proposals to raise the pension age.
Demonstrators in the capital, Moscow, carried banners reading: "We want to live on our pensions, not die at work."
The government says it wants to raise the pension age from 60 to 65 for men, and from 55 to 63 for women, to help cope with a shrinking workforce.
But unions warn many people will not live long enough to claim a pension.
Some 12,000 people took to the streets of Moscow to protest at the controversial plans.

Thank you Tea Party god—Paul Ryan



Thank you Tea Party god—Paul Ryan


Thanks to the Tea Party, the poor, the elderly, the disabled are now the problem in America. And thanks to the Tea Party, the Paul Ryan budget will get its chance to starve and kill off the poor, the elderly, the disabled and thank the Tea Party god, Paul Ryan will have quality time to get home on weekends to visit his family at the mansion in Wisconsin and Paul and oil rich wifey can go for cocktails and a dance at the country club while Maria, the illegal? (don’t ask-don’t tell Maria), will get an obscenely generous $1.50 an hour babysitting the kids. Ain’t America Great!

Rep.Sam Johnson 3rd Texas - Key Player in Handing Over Social Security to Wall Street




Rep Sam Johnson 84 - 3rd Texas 84 refuses to retires on full Congressional Pension – too much money and favors to be had from Wall Street Cronies? War on the American Middle Class.

Banruptcy of Social Security began on January 20, 2015.


It all sounds like “good government,” but the politics are rich.

House Democrats were not consulted on the rules change, and liberals accuse the GOP of trying to cull the weak from the herd, pitting the disabled against pensioners to undermine the larger Social Security coalition.

In fact, the new rule’s fine print leaves an escape hatch for Republicans to move tens of billions into the disability fund if this gambit fails. Still, the upshot could be a one-two punch Democrats most fear: a first-round debate over disability funding in 2016 followed by a bigger battle over all of Social Security in 2017, when Republicans hope to control both Congress and the White House.

“They’re looking for a new weapon,” said Michigan Rep. Sander Levin, the ranking Democrat on Ways and Means. “What they’re doing in this rule is to use any problems within disability as a way to attack the whole system. It’s dangerous doubletalk when they have been the problem, not the answer.”

Republicans to Cut Social Security Benefits by 19% in 2016 – First Cut With Disability Payments



You lower the benefits to the disabled; you make them homeless or starve. Then again some with 19% cut benefits will then qualify for Medicaid supplemental and Food Stamps.

Could cost more - this phony accounting trip to eventually rob the whole Social Security Trust Fund.

I have to agree with one of the comments about how Republicans feel safe in their gated communities – safe enough to fantasize and masturbate on all the people they hate on like minorities, the poor, the aged, the disabled, children…


On the very first day of the new Congress, House Republicans passed a rule, later adopted by the full House, which would prevent the common practice of rebalancing funds. What this does is lay the groundwork for a 19% cut in disability benefits.

That’s a horribly devastating cut for individuals – most of whom are in their 50’s and in poor health – to absorb beginning next year. In fact, since most disability recipients receive barely $1,200 a month, a cut of nearly 20 percent could mean the difference between affording food, medicine, clothing or paying bills. It is an unspeakable option and one that we are determined to
prevent.


Earlier this month, President Obama suggested a budget that would do exactly what has been done 11 times in the past and that is to rebalance funds between the two programs. The response by the House to block that is merely an attempt to manufacture a crisis where none exists.

Lord Bichard, House of Lords, wants Pensioners to Do Community Work for No Pay or dock their Old Age Pensions in Britain


Lord Bichard



Maybe the Brits can feed the old to the Queen's corgies etc. Something bloody useful. Right Lord Bichard?

No doubt Franklin Graham has promises from Mitt Romney to use old people on Social Security to work for nothing in Graham's tax-free "Christian" Charity Rackets.

The sentiment to such obscene treatment of the old already has a champion in the British House of Lords who retired from government with an obscene government pension over $150,000 per year in USD value and now he has the nerve to try and marshal the old to work for nothing doing community service and charity work.

Maybe Lord Bitchard can take some of his pension funds and invest in a dentist.


He said: “We are now prepared to say to people who are not looking for work, if you don’t look for work you don’t get benefits. So if you are old and you are not contributing in some way or another, maybe there is some penalty attached to that.”  
Bichard also asked: “Are we using all the incentives at our disposal to encourage older people, not justto be a negative burden on the State but to actually be a positive part of society?”  
The wealthy lord’s draconian scheme left pensioners’ groups seething.

Respect over Love - Chris Christie's Republican View for America


And if you little people don't like it, when they take Social Security and Medicare away, Governor Christie won't miss any sleep or more importantly won't miss any meals over it.



Mussolini Lives!

Marco Rubio – the new Rick Santorum?



Pentacostal, evangelical, “Roman Catholic” on Wikipedia, teavangelist, Tea Bagger darling Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, is now looking to be the “token latino” VP on the GOP presidential ticket and is preaching some really anti-Christian Reich sounding rhetoric in that

“Social Security and Medicare have made us weak as a people”.


In a speech delivered at the Ronald Reagan Library on Tuesday.

Like if you don’t have family or dedicated neighbors to take care of you when you are old or sick, you should be fucked. According to Tea Senator “Rick  Santorum Jr.” of Florida, it not the problem of government etc. if you can’t take care of yourself in your old age.


Not quite man on dog as Rick Santorum would put it but maybe more dog on dog or dog eat dog - I think explains his, this Tea-losophy.


Is this the beginning round of a socially acceptable, Passive (from the government POV) Euthanasia for the Poor in this country?


Where is the real Jesus in all your bought by cash rhetoric Marco darling?


Christian is no longer synonymous with humanity anymore especially when it's preaching, official party line, comes out of the front office of the official God party - the GOP.

What the heck are you smoking in the pews down there in drug cartel controlled Florida during your church services buddy?  

What God do you wor$hip???
 
Wow.  The price of your soul is quite cheap Marco!

What is this going to be – a Perry/Rubio ticket? 

Dumber and dumbest.

Try to have a nice day.

(The end of civilization as we know it is at hand.)

Age of Disappointment (in us)

Age of disappointment


When them that has – has

And thems that don’t have – Don’t

Anymore.

No increase COLA, Social Security

Cost of Living Adjustment,

won’t go through again for next year.

Starve the elderly and the Disabled

Shouts the press (obsolete).

Functions the Gov’ment

(dys-func-tion-al)

Oh well. Horatio Alger is not dead.

Was he ever really alive?

A nation’s social obligations stop

At the door to the Senate.

Powerful guys and “C” street pagans.

Oh well again. It is an age of

Disappointment in the waste of brains

It takes to not run a corporation right.

People were factored out a long time

Ago in any economic equation.

Tax equation especially.

Anybody with an MBA knows that.

Business, the new secular religion

What does that mean?

Worship of the buck – oh f**k

That what that means.

Religion is dead. Christ too by

Last count – oh Christian church

What do you stand for?

Sin and Salvation.

What ever happened to people

To life, to day to day living?

Wholistic life - medicine???

Yeah right!

One hundred odd words to go.

Age of disappointment

In people, institutions, religion

Where do we turn this thing around?

When???

Too many college degrees (aside)

Practical, manual, labor used

To build nations. Other nations,

not us Anymore.

Now spreadsheet jockeys only Jockey

(don’t know the horse)

And make paper profits on computers

Computers. Another disappointment.

The ability of a robot to make a

Better world. Whose world-

middle class world?

Shrinking class. A disappointment.!?

Boomers mostly, then X

What did I do to change the world?

Very little. Just Death and taxes

To fall back on. That’s my excuse.

What’s yours?

Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.

Age of Disappointment

Crash coming - of faith -

In the system, in the day -

In the flow of it all.

What does the world look like

Feel like tomorrow?

Blah! America.

Age of low expectations.

Age of disappointment.
