SW FLORIDA FORECLOSURES

(Feb. 12, 2009)

While we sympathize with an overburdened Court System, I find it unconscionable that homeowners' rights were infringed upon as a matter of expedience and for the convenience of the court.

LIBERALS AND FORECLOSED MORTGAGES

Liberals care; they feel your pain; or so they would have you believe. Many times a day, President Obama and his fellow Democrats appear on your flatscreen and tell you how those 'radical' Republicans, and their fat cat business buddies with their private jets, are ripping off the American People.

WHERE'S OUR MONEY MR. MACK ? INFLATION RATE

SOCIAL SECURITY RATE

By law, Social Security payments are tied into the rate of inflation. Specifically, the inflation rates for the previous June, July, and August (as I recall). If, however the inflation rate is negative for the previous year (as in June, July, August of 2009), their is no increase in Social Security payments - nor, by law is there ever a cut.

So, for example, Social Security recipients got a 5% increase in 2009 (average of June, July, August 2008) even though the annual inflation rate was only 3.87%; and they received no increase in 2010, because there was no inflation in 2009.

But why didn't Social Security payments increase at all in 2011? There was an increase of 1.63% for the year in 2010, and a more modest increase the benchmark months of 1.1% for June, July, August. By law, Social Security payments should have increased by 1.1% in 2011. They didn't.

With gas and food prices climbing, SW Florida retirees need the increase that is due to us BY FEDERAL LAW.

Of course, you and Mr. Ryan think we should balance your crazy spending from the wallets of SW Florida's Seniors and Veterans.http://www.sawyer2012.com/PAUL-RYAN-SLEPT-HERE.html. I disagree (http://www.sawyer2012.com/YOU_DONT_WORK.html.

Full faith and credit, Mr. Obama? Mr. Ryan? Mr. Mack?

BEACH REHAB

Fort Myers Beach is undergoing a major beach restoration, but a few Gulf front owners have chosen not to participate. Thus while most of the sand along the beach is high and deep, some frontage lots remain, well . . . sort of a hole. Eventually, of course, those holes will be filled in by the wind anyway.

THE GINGRICH WHO STOLED LEE MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE

A MILLION HERE, A MILLION THERE, PRETTY SOON LEE MEMORIAL IS BANKRUPT

(September 4, 2011)

In 2006, former U.S. House Speaker and current candidate for President, Newt Gingrich, testified before Congress on behalf of the proposed “Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.” At an expected cost of a mere $28 - 35 Billion, this legislation provided for funding to transform myriad medical records from paper files to an electronic database called Electronic Medical Records Systems (EMRS).

FAREWELL TO MAN'S BEST FRIEND

We all love animals. It's sad when our pets pass and doubly so when a K-9 police dog loses his life in the line of duty. But in this age of government waste and huge deficits, it might be noted that a dog's funeral that costs the taxpayers $200,000 also cost three school teachers their jobs.

But if most of you think it's ok, I have no dog in that fight.

Re: The Paul Ryan Plan - Your Response, and Backtrack.

Dear Sir:

The problem with your take on the Paul Ryan plan is not that you are incorrect in your assessment, but rather 1. That you dared to go against the same Republican

Re: TEXTING BAN FACES AN UPHILL BATTLE (Dec. 24)

The biggest impediment to getting straight answers from today’s office holders is their number-one goal in life - getting re-elected. Case in point :Our elected officials in the State Legislature are revisiting the issue of texting while driving. Yet again.

Request Restrictions Need Work

Ft Myers News - Depressed

January 24, 2012

When an elected official assumes office, he or she automatically assumes an aura of authority in which that elected official thinks they know everything, and those who elected them are ignorant. Therefore, think they, it is best that the electorate remains in the dark. Certainly better for the official.

MEDICARE SEEN AS ISSUE IN CONGRESSIONAL RACES

To Whom It May Concern:

The Democrats and the President are there for the plucking in 2012. Polls today show that 45% of voters would not vote for President Obama (vs. 28%). When that number hits 51%, there is no way you can win (ask Hillary). Nonetheless, in the same polls Obama beats all Republican candidates.

PAUL RYAN PLAN WRIT LARGE

Here it is. Florida follows Paul Ryan. The Florida "House is cutting $453 million to hospitals,nursing homes, and HMO's, but boosts MEDICAID spending to handle enrollment growth."

Once again, Veterans and Seniors will see the retirement benefits they were promised and for which they have paid in advance reduced in favor of many (some for 3 - 4 generations) who think they are too good to work for a living.

ANOTHER USELESS 'PARTNERSHIP'

(News - Press Feb 18, 2012)

At another meeting of the Naples Chamber of Commerce, at yet another posh resort, with a slavering media in attendance, the Chamber announced the formation of the Partnership for Naples Future Economy, to replace yet another failed Economic Council, whose name I forget, and won't bother to look up.
