Misinformation Spreads Quickly
Mar 11^th, 2010 at 1:01am

I find it sad that people believe just about anything they read, then pass it on. The internet has grown the rumor-mill to mind-numbing proportions.

THIS is what I am referring to. I am finding it on alot of my friends Facebook pages:

The Government has proposed a 1.4% pay increase for active duty military in 2011. This is THE LOWEST SINCE 1973! Nice to know that during a time of rampant inflation, while war is fought in 2 theatres, our men and women in uniform get A LOWER PAY INCREASE THAN WELFARE RECIPIENTS. Please repost if you support our troop.........s...What pay rise will Congress give themselves I wonder??

Okay, so for this to be TRUE - Military would have to receive ZERO INCREASE!!!!!! Why, because welfare recipients and the disabled recieved a ZERO PERCENT increase for cost of living at the beginning of the year. AND, those who receive welfare and disability will not receive a 'cost of living' increase for the next 2 more years!

So, for those forced onto welfare, they've got the added bonus of foodstamps being cut in half.

I fail to see where wlefare recipients have got a higher increase than our military. AND, I support our military, and have a few friends in Iraq and Afghanistan that I worry about on a daily basis.

BTW - Military got a 3.4 increase this year, and welfare got zero. Oh, and in case you're ready to rip me apart, keep in mind that...

In 2011, military will get a 1.4% pay increase. Welfare recipients will get a ZERO PERCENT INCREASE!

So, anyone who doubts me on this, don't visit an "Anit-Obama Blog" or take your friends word for it. All you have to do is look it up. Those on disability who are used to 20-35 dollars extra a month aren't getting jackshit for an increase.

Off my soapbox,

Carl, those of us on SS didn't get anything either, but things went up all around us (utilities, food, etc).

What ticks me off is that CONGRESS got a raise (like they needed it so badly for all the good work they're doing).

The only thing I know to do is FIRE Congress in November and hire some NEW people.

I've said this before (and some newscasters have picked up on it - go figure) everyone needs to watch, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" before they go vote. We need some Mr. Smith's in Washington.

If you really want to get upset - check the Congressional Agenda each day and SEE what they're REALLY doing all day... It's ridiculous how they're wasting time and OUR money on frivolious things that could be handled in private and not taking up time on the floor.

Off my soapbox now too...

Kiss
