What a Time we live in

I just don't understand all this political rangling going on in Washington.  They always bring out the threat of cutting social security and medicare to scare the hell out of the older folks.  Wht don't they take a pay cut?  I even heard they were attacking the vets pensions and the VA care they get for what they had to suffer through.  Come on people!!!!  I wish we could remember all the things they do at election time.
