00:09:10 – I should have mentioned this, the other day, yesterday, the great majority of republicans who want to reduce taxes from what’s currently scheduled under the bush law from 39% to 36%, costing tens of billions of dollars said we couldn’t afford to give every social securityful $250.

00:09:32 – Do you want to give warren buffett $250?

00:09:35 – They want to give buffet $250,000 in tax cuts, which to his credit, he said he didn’t want.

The $250 was supposed to make up for the lack of a cost of living increase.

Even if the $250.00 had passed, it would have been a joke. What were the democrats and OBANA trying to do? Assuage seniors, bribe them into believing they are the all God Giving creatures, the most charitable? Come on! Seniors like myself would have preferred, I am sure, our annual cost of living increase which we did not receive last year and are not receiving this year. What a joke!
