WE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA.

Will we survive the mess the country is in? Sometimes I wonder about all these entitlements that we receive. Are they really necessary? I'm talking about the programs like the prescription drug program, health care programs and all the others. The only ones that really benefit are the insurance companies. Maybe if we didn't have these programs maybe the doctors and hospitals could lower their prices by not having to fill out all the government and insurance forms to get paid.
It sure would cut out all the fraud in the system. Well it's just one old man's thoughts. I also wonder about a national lottery where the drawings where held once a month. There wouldn't be just one winner but many winners ever month. Lets say 40% goes to prizes,10-15% go to the cost of the program and the reminder to go into a defecit fund to pay it down. Tickets would be $1.00 and the prizes would be one maximum prize of $50,000 per winner divided by the amount of dollars in the 40% prize money which would equal alot of winners every month. I think alot of people would like a chance to win $ 50,000 on a $1.00 ticket. I hope you understand what I trying to say.
Anyhow just a thought. I think this program would help a lot of people and our defecit in the trouble times. Thanks for reading this blog. SAD

ARE WE ALONE?

My son gets a kick out of this discussion when we have them. He really gets a kick out of talking about UFO'S. He always ask me if they are in outer space why haven't they landed or try and contact us. I tell him what space traveler with any sense would want to land on a world were everybody trying to destroy each other.
A world were the human inhabitants are determine  on detroying thier own planet. Were they have slowly been destroying the air,natural resourses,freshwater, oceans and each other. A planet were people take all mother nature has to offer but gives nothing back in return. We know our planet is already over populated and still growing.
We also know that mother earths resources can't last forever but there are alot of the human race that don't seem to care. They the aliens are probably waiting for us to do ourselfs in. Just think what a world this would be if we took all the money and resourses we spend on killing each other an applied it to the human race and mother nature.As long as the aliens watch and see all the hate and wars on this planet and the self destruction we are headed for would you go to a place like that I don't think so. Are we alone? Who really knows. SAD

SENIORS CAN FIND WAYS TO CUT COST.

You know with everything on the rise we all must find ways to cut our cost of living. We all know its tough to do but I have found a few ways that may help depending on ur state. I found out some states have a law I suppose its a law but not sure that if you are 65 and older you can get your property tax cut in half.

I heard about it and then I check into it an sure enough I was able to have my property tax cut in half by going down to the tax accessors office. It wasn't much but it help lower my mortgage payment. They installed a fire hydrant within a 1000 feet of my home so I call my home ins co and they lowered my yearly preminum
by 20 %. Well as we say every little bit helps. I service my heating,hot water and cooking with propane gas and we know how these prices have been rising so I though I would buy a electric oil heater and see if that made a different.
Able to turn my thermostat down I have been able to make my propane last longer and saw a little increase in my electic bill but it was still cheaper then a gallion of propane. If you have any ideas on how to help seniors save a little on thier monthly home cost let us know ur secrets we can all use the help. SAD
