I may delete this thread in when I'm not as depressed as now, the following is probably too personal, so don't be surprised if it's gone next time you look
well, I've been getting a few hundred dollars from the Bush economic policy for a few years now.
I think my extra dollar return has amounted to about 1800 bucks....nice, I put it in the bank, cuz I had no use for it but to invest
I know plenty of people needed that cash, so it was probably more important to them then me

two weeks ago, I had to get my dad a hip replacement...his hip was frozen and he couldn't bend sit or walk without pain
he had to wait about 6 weeks to get his medicare approval and then for a spot from the few surgeons that still take medicare
his operation went very smooth...(thank you god)
then, while still recovering, we were informed that medicare could no longer handle his recovery...he had to be sent home two days after surgery
he was still having serious issues caused by the surgery, couldn't at all get out of bed on his own, couldn't give himself the medicine neccessary, couldn't use the mens room, couldn't eat, etc
I was told by the staff that if he was admitted into surgery just three weeks sooner, his recovery would have been provided at least a cople of weeks, and if he was admitted a couple of years ago, his recovery would have been provided for at least a month
now however, medicare changed it's protocol since there is nothing left of our resources to keep it solvent, and any further care had to be provided by family.
my dad has been paying into medicare all his life...he's a veteran as well...none of that matters.
I put him into private care at personal expense.
I won't go into further details, but a long story short, my long saved investments are now liquid to provide for my a dad
Does anyone think that 1800 dollars I recieved in "tax relief" is going to cover any of this?
these are the effects realized sooner then I thought would be realized of "giving my money to rich people"
I've said the "bill will be paid", and all of us will go through similar situtaions to "pay the bill"
More, I would have retired in a few years with my investments and social security...not possible for any future that I can see anymore
