I won’t do that, you make do with what you have, and be grateful. Stay in shape so you don’t fade away too fast. We can’t turn into the grumpy old people we hated being around when we were younger. Keep your sense of humor, don’t let anyone take that from you. |

Elawnya (OP) User ID: 77298525 United States 02/06/2019 12:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The thing about the elderly is.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54830213 If you ignore them...they DO actually go away. yes ! well, I got a crumb, they one-stared me. Ohbombo did this to us with his speeches, always lumping us in with the welfare bums, calling us "entitled", making everyone hate us, even though we, of the Private Sector, paid for that SS account, while also paying into the general Welfare account. Double dipping is what happened to us, until it turned to triple-dipping when they stole that first 3 Trillion. back in the olddays the Republicans would, when they got back in office, refunded the money the Democrats stole from us, but they did not do that this time. We, the elderly, are, now, the biggest losers in the World. Trump gives money to everyone but us. If I had known how corrupt govt. was going to get, I wouldnot have signed up for SS. I should sue for: "I did not receive full disclosure", so gimme back my money ! ! ! |

I'm considered elderly, too, and I never ever depended on the government to take care of me. Not once, and I never will! I worked and I saved money. I guess you think the government should pay for your nursing home care also? Oh...you poor socialist! Last Edited by nutmeg on 02/06/2019 12:26 AM |

Quoting: Elawnya 77298525 and "they" are still stealing another 3 Trillion dollars, called the "excess", out of our bought-and-paid-for SS account? No mention about that? No action on that. Not even a peep? Not even a Hello ! ? While my roof continues to leak. No FEMA for the great, white, Christian North.- where we just got out of below 0 temperatures, while ice skating across our floors to get to our broken, front door. What we get is elder abuse and like it or lump it, while we arenot even mentioned in his speech. "...Truth shall make you free...": John 8:32 I remain loyal to Trump, I wish he could do the same for us. We, elderly, are "only here for a short time". We need Trump, but he doesnot need us, so we be happy for the crumbs we get but we donot even get any crumbs, not even a Hello in his speech. What happened Folks? Why are you so quiet about all this shunning, robbery and short changing, and down-right misery-of-life? Isnot it the squeaky wheel that gets the oil? my bad. I know of elderly people and they are doing just fine. If your roof leaks then fix it, if your front door is broken fix it yourself. Stop thinking the government owes you a handout when you clearly bite the hand that literally feeds you. Judging by your attitude, even if he had mentioned the elderly you would've used it to say 'well he mentioned us but he won't do anything, just empty words and promises...' There are SEVERAL programs for the elderly in this Country and not to mention social security. Shame on you. |

Lovely.....And I find it hard to believe an 84 year old would search the internet after a SOTU and find a board like this just to complain about being short changed....not everyone is as dumb as you think they are. By the way....February is this month. |

Elawnya (OP) User ID: 77298525 United States 02/06/2019 02:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I watched the whole Speech, the elderly was behind The President and to the right. Quoting: Toejamsoup There were a few hundred in front of him, too! Not one of them said, "Hey, take care of me because I never took responsibility for myself." My husband after a long illness of COPD and horrible, nightmare euthanasia, died, leaving me with grief, Then I fell and was incapacitated due to the injury coupled with the grief, joint pain, bills a trashed house, which, originally, I had purchased and practically had to rebuild, because it was an Amish house: no plumbing, electric and so on. So, yes, I needed emergency, govt, help. I couldnot even walk or think.- and I was older than old, and weak, disabled and had/have congestive heart failure, and too old to get a job (all I had was my SS, which means I DID take responsibility for my old age, plus, had bought a house with no mortgage, which YOU slandered that I hadnot done, "responsibility for myself"). And then things got worse, and they tossed me into an insane asylum, no relative help, and iam only just 2 years later, beginning to see daylight at the end of the nightmare tunnel, but no cash money for the tornatoed roof I was traumatized to the max, and ready to meet my maker. Today, I, too, watched and LISTENED to all of Trump's message, and repeat: He did not make even a peep about the elderly, not even a Hello ! Hoping for a sign of hope n his message, we were totally shunned. NOT A SINGLE WORD of recognition nor hope. After posting all day, I lost nights upon nights of sleep getting him into that White House, beating down nasty-mouthed demonicreeps. and iam a professional flamer, no one could beat me, because during the Internet Flame Wars, flaming lessons were offered, and I took those lessons. I flattend them all, never lost a war. Talkbizar, the writers, among many others, was totaled. No one won at the Flame Wars, we all just learned how to cuss and use the f-word with shocking style and grace. |

In all seriousness, OP, I respect my elders and look out for them. Depend on your community, not your govt. At 90 years old I don't know how you don't know that yet. Hell. I learned that at 20. |
