Eat your own dog food... PLEASE

Who thinks they make enough money? Not many people I would guess...

Who thinks they have a great job? Fewer and fewer recently...

Who is the upper crust of the US Society? Not who you would think... unless your one of them!

Status is an interesting thing... It makes us feel important, and is a measured, public facing thing that places value on our lives... But enough of "beating around the bush"....

Did you know?
That our elected officials don't use the same health care plan as they are pushing for the rest of us...
That our elected officials don't pay or get Social Security benefits...

Let me stop there... Those 2 things are enough to detail here today.

You never fix something right unless YOU know its broken first hand... When YOU feel the pains of a bad design, poor programming, poor workmanship, YOU fix it or replace it... Health care wont truly get "FIXED" until our elected officials have to "eat their own dog food" so to speak...

When your doctor and your health care are something you deal with... truly deal with... The Statements of Benefit (you cant understand), the denial of service, rate hike or never ending circus of "specialists" are enough to make the average person dizzy. But did you know that the same people who want to "over-haul" our system... DO NOT EVEN USE IT! THey have their own plan, their own system...

Here is an idea... Let's all use what they have!

Then there is Social Security... We pay into it, we end up drawing from it, just enough to survive our twilight years if we are lucky... Did you know that our elected "clowns" get more in one MONTH of retirement than we will draw in our entire retired LIFE?

They (and their spouses) get huge packages paid for by you and I, that set them up on easy street... for life... Hundreds of thousands of dollars per year that they don't pay into a pool to receive (it costs them NOTHING) and they get for the rest of their life! (Which lasts longer due to their better health care no doubt)

This makes me SICK!

We may vote out all the dumb-asses who don't get it in 2010... But they will still get paid more than 95% of our citizenship... for the rest of their life...

The best part... They keep voting themselves raises! What a concept....
