"FINALLY, TED KENNEDY GOT HIS "SENTENCE" FOR KILLING MARY JO AND FREEING COUNTLESS OTHER MURDERERS!" --- JOHN L. SULAK 08/26/2009
There will not be one tear shed from this ol' boys eyes! No siree! What goes around comes around, and Teddy, it finally came around, son.
Here's another one that'll draw you up. Have you ever wondered where your Congressional Representatives office is? I mean, there back and forth between their district and Washington, DC, all th' time. So where do they go when they land? It'll amaze ya! I know it did me. I know, you figure, well, they got an office in Washington and another in their district. WRONG!
Last time I wrote to my Texas reps, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Louie Gohmert, and John Cornyn, about th' FEDERAL RESERVE, I wanted to make darn sure they got it, so I decided to mail each letter to their "two" offices. Two offices each? What a joke. Kay has seven (7) offices in Washington, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Abilene, and Harlingen. Seven offices! And each one staffed with no tellin' how many folks. Oh, and they ain't no cheap, get me by, 'cause I'm not here long, kinda offices. No. They're first class joints! High dollar! Paid for by "Our Dollars"! You and me brother!
Now, Ol' John has eight (8) offices and every single one of them is in a high rise. Plush! He's got offices in Washington, Houston, Harlingen, Lubbock, San Antonio, Austin, Tyler, and Big "D" (that's Dallas for you Northern folks). Eight offices! One fella! Eight plush, cozy, high rise offices! Man, and this guy only makes 160 grand a year and change? Oh, and let's not forget Louie. No sir. He's more frugal. He has only a measly six (6) offices. 'Course he is th' new kid on th' block. Give him time. He'll get there. They all do, don't they? Yeah, Louie has offices in Washington, Longview, Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Marshall, and Tyler. Now here's what, especially, don't make too much sense with Louie, these offices in Texas are within an hour of each other. An hour. Some, or maybe a lot, of Americans drive farther than that to work, but Louie needs a stoppin' place.
So, you got three reps and twenty-one offices! 21!! Oh, and where they got 'em in th' same town, well, they have different addresses. Not even in th' same building. Now, you look up your reps online and see their contact info. Betcha their not much different than mine. Now, do some figurin'. All th' staff, th' AC & heat bills, th' travel between offices, and the all around extra expense it is to maintain all these UNNECESSARY OFFICES! Think we could cut a few million? Give me a chance! Just give me th' chance! I can cut out more waste then a rotor rooter! Just give me a chance!
Must I go on? Yes I must. Y'all know what a Hospital Chief Executive Officer is? Well, they are th' folks that run th' hospital, or it's said. Actually th' administrator pretty much does their job for 'em. Kinda like most CEO's. That's why country clubs and golf courses are pretty full, most all th' time. Couldn't resist. Anyway, you wanna know how much they take outta th' hospitals they "work" for? How 'bout two million a year? Yeah, that's what Ol' Richard Murphy of Good Samaritan Hospital takes in. Nice haul Richard. You like th' "Good Samaritan" name, do ya? I mean, with all th' folks beggin' for a band aid or somethin'? Hey, but that's not all. Richard also get's one million every five years in retirement pay. Now, to be fair, Ol' Rich is not alone. There's hundreds of these cats scattered among us. Hey, and these guys get bonuses, incentives, and trips, just like them other, high dollar, CEO's, but ya don't hear Obama or Guitner screamin ' bout them, do you? No, 'cause they got 'em in their greasy lil' pockets! Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'? Bam! Down with th' "cost cuttin'" gavel.
So let's move on to one of my favorite "cost cuttin' measure" subjects, ATTORNEYS! Or, as I like to call them, th' OL' SHYSTERS! This is another "elite" group that th' "elite" politicians and media WILL NOT touch! They are definitely in th' greasy pocket of corruption and graf. Virtually all of these Ol' Shysters have no soul! Their eyes are glazed over while they swim around lookin' for a piece of red "financial" meat to devour! Wanna cut a WHOLE BUNCH of costs? Get THESE folks!
You hear all this talk about how much money insurance companies are making. Well, being an ex-officer of an insurance company, I can tell you that the profit margin averages around two to five percent. Far less than most companies in the United States. Wanna know what shysters get? How 'bout 33% profit? Yeah, and this is after all their expenses. You hear th' stories, "Aw, go ahead and get an attorney, you're still gonna get to keep seventy percent of what the court awards you." WRONG! If you're lucky, you might get forty percent. I know this from personal experience, when my wife, while stopped for a light, was hit from behind by a women doing over sixty. You see, shysters have all kinds of "packs" they throw in. We had to pay five hundred dollars to the gal that just took our original information. Oh, and there were many other "packs". The doctor, th' therapist, th' nurses, paper work, time, etc. Oh, they're good! They've got it down to a science!
Now, how 'bout this? You limit settlements to ten percent of a persons annual income or a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, whichever is greater. The shyster would only get twenty five percent of that, if it goes to court. If it doesn't go to court the shyster gets fifteen percent. That's it! Th' "cost cuttin' train" is on a roll folks! Somebody stop me! No don't!
Okay, last, but definitely not least, let's move on to our Congressional Leaders. Don't you just hate using th' word "Leader" with Congressional? Leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. Don't it you? Kinda like a hair ball. Leaders? How do th' youngin's do it? LOL!
DID YOU KNOW? I said, "Did you know?", that these "leaders" get paid th' same pay after they leave their office, or offices, whichever you prefer? They get this 'til th' lil' boogers kick off! Really! Oh, but that's not all. No siree Bob! They also get "automatic" pay increases! Yes they do. Bless their lil' hearts. They're so cute and cuddly! Th' lil' protected darlin's! But wait there is more! Yes there is. Guess how much this "BEAUTIFUL, ANY OF US WOULD LOVE TO HAVE" retirement plan costs our "leaders"? Still hate that word. It costs them nothing! NOTHING FOLKS! Unlike us, they never, ever, forever, pay nothing into Social Security!! NEVER! Talk about your "WHEEL OF FORTUNE"!
GET THEM "COST CUTTIN' SCISSORS" AND LET'S DO SOME WHACKING!! Don't ya think? These "leaders" are unbelievable and we're none th' better for lettin' 'em get away with it! Hey POLITICIANS AND SHYSTERS! Read this label:

..........and that my patriotic brother and sisters, are some more deep down and dirty opinions from TH' DUMB OL' EAST TEXAS BOY. God bless you all.
I agree with you that there is a lot of wasteful spending and waste in general by the people that are supposed to be representing us. As a recent veteran from enlisted combat service (Army) I feel I have earned the right to call myself a patriot. I think there are many (mostly) people in our government leadership positions who possess little or no leadership qualities. However in the case of Louie Gohmert yes, he does have six offices. DC, Tyler, Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Marshall, Longview. The only one he must pay for is Tyler, as it is in a private building - DC is in a federal building. Lufkin is in City Hall, Nacogdoches is in the County Courthouse, Marshall is in the Courthouse Annex and Longview is in the County Courthouse.
ReplyDeleteThe Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has ruled that Members may accept free office space, located in their district, when such space is provided by a federal, state, or local government agency. Yes, those are paid for with tax dollars but they are already existing offices and they serve a purpose. This saves travel time (and GAS MONEY) for constituents who live there and want to go into their Congressman's office without having to drive to Tyler. It's all about serving the constituents who WANT an office in their area. It isn't for the convenience of the Congressman. All but DC and Tyler are single room, single desk offices- go check it out and see for yourself.
I think he does what is right, and we should support the good ones...especially now...because we have plenty of people who are "serving" that are not doing the people they represent service in the least.
First, thanks for your service. I appreciate it and I too am a disabled vet from Vietnam Era.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you, I feel that Louie is one of, if not the, best politicians in office. He seems very sincere and I hope he stays that way. DC has a way of changin' a good ol' boy like Louie. I mean, with all th' perks danglin' right in fron of hime every single day he is in office. Many a good ol' boy has DC broken! And that my friend is th' problem! We can no longer GUESS who is on our side in DC. We have to start FRESH!! We have to change STATUS QUO! God bless Louie and what he has done so far, but until we CLEAN UP DC there is always the fear that good ol' boys like Louie will weaken and fall into th' "easy life" of DC.
Thanks you for standing up for your country and beliefs. I applaude you sir.
There are so many ways to cut costs easily, but they have no intention of doing any such thing. They are intentionally breaking our backs so that we have to depend on them. When we are weak we are easily controlled. And you can bet it is going to get worse before it gets better. The current state that our country is in, is only the tip of the ice burg.
ReplyDeleteOh and don't you just love the way they rationalized and justify their decisions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaMj-WUC-aE
