Same song and dance

Did our conservative Congress turn liberal to vote themselves a $90-plus-a-week raise? They didn’t need to lobby for this huge raise. My last raise when carpentering was $4 a week.

One night, on “Larry King Live,” Sen. Sam Nunn, retired now, was asked what I would find if I looked into Social Security. Sen. Nunn replied, you would find $550 million in IOUs. No wonder retired notch victims can’t get full Social Security.

I have heard the old song and dance that they have to maintain two homes. When we wanted a camp it came out of savings.
