Random Quote
A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank.

Too old to run? Or your rascal/hoveround ran out of juice?
Medicare and Medicaid recipients that have been used to free everything, on 15 meds, free scooters, free penis pumps, free diabetic shoes, free CPAP machines, free hospital stays, free surgery, free heart caths, free everything are suddenly complaining.
Obamacare is cutting their meds out or down to 4 or less. Medicare is being decimated, and geezers are pissed. They’re obese, smoke, and have destroyed their health, and now their holy higher power, Medicare/Medicaid doesn’t want to pay anymore.
States don’t pay their Medicaid bills, and thousands of hospitals, shelter care, nursing homes and pharmacies are soon going to close. Doctors aren’t going to see Medicaid/Medicare patients anymore. And hospitals (the ones that aren’t bankrupt through government non-payment of bills) are going to break the law and quit seeing Medicaid and Medicare patients.
A day of reckoning is coming for all those people who abused their health and transferred responsibility for their health to the government. Death panels are just the beginning. Death by losing meds and care will finish off the rest. Too old to run indeed.

Yup, and a free penis pump, scooter, C-PAP, and at least $100,000 worth of other free shit. But you’re not on disability yet. Better hurry, before they run out of cash.

In 2012, Medicare spent a fortune on free penis pumps for Medicare recipients for Masturbation devices for disability recipients and geezers. Too bad Medicare only pay for 8 Viagras a month, damn.
Penis Pumps The Focus Of Medicare Fraud Investigation
U.S. fraud investigators are looking into questionable Medicare payments for penis pumps, as spending on the devices has skyrocketed 500 percent over the last decade, Scripps Howard News Service reported.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services found that the taxpayer-funded insurance program spent $36 million on “male vacuum erection systems” last year –- up from $7.2 million in 2000, the news service reported. In 2010, Medicare paid for nearly 98,000 of the devices.
In one of the largest recent frauds, an Illinois man, Gary Winner of Planned Eldercare, was sentenced to more than three years in prison in February for shipping penis pumps to diabetes patients who did not order them. Winner purchased them for $26 a pop from online sex shops and repackaged them as “erectile pumps” that assisted in bladder control and other issues, according to prosecutors. He billed Medicare $284 each for the devices, part of a larger fraud that cost the insurance plan $2.2 million over four years, prosecutors said.

I’ve said for a number of years that I’m too old to go into an offensive action. Not much stamina there anymore.
But given the right tools (I already have a few of them), I could fight one hell of a rear guard action while everyone else gets away to fight again another day.

Too old to drive? Good thing. Admin’s about to get another huge tax bill for his commute:
The New Way to Tax Car Owners: Pay Per Mile Driven
Have you ever heard of the vehicle miles traveled tax? No? Well get ready to hear more about it, because the vehicle miles traveled tax, or VMT, is the latest way states are looking to make up for falling gas tax revenues.
“The VMT is likely the way states will raise money in the future for their roads and infrastructure,” said Joshua Schank, president and CEO of the ENO Center for Transportation in Washington, D.C. “The states aren’t yet to the point where they’ve figured out exactly how to implement the VMT, but they’ll get there.”
Even though the VMT is more of an idea than a reality at this point, the fact is states are looking at implementing it as a way to make up for falling gas tax revenues. Those revenues are the primary way states pay for maintaining their roads, highways, bridges and in recent years those budgets have been under pressure.

I only puff cigars, not inhale. And I don’t swap SNAP benes for carton of cigs, and I don’t get COPD. Nobody’s perfect. Unicorns don’t shit cigars, little brown Latin women shit cigars.

OK. I’m a pipe smoker, so no inhale. I reckon I could no worse to my lungs than the army did.
Ft Hood basic training, 1959, field manuevers end of year, sodden incessant rain. I near got hypothermia the first day, lost my voice on the second, by that night was spitting blood and other erk … after two more days, they thought to send me to base. Waited for hours until they finished with the officers wives, then some hun-accented officer hmmms as he probes with stethoscope, finally says, “Scar tissue. Oh well, you’re past the worst of it, no need for antibiotics or anything. Goodbye.”
