Such nonsense

I continue to be frustrated by what I read on the news. Last week I found out that the next federal budget, while making tax cuts to the rich and corporations permanent, will cut deeply into entitlement services, health care and mental health programs. Yeah! So the california victory of 2004, the mental health services act which generates funds by taxing millionaires in california becomes inconsequent, since it will only replace funds lost to the hands of the federal budget. It feels like the more you row, the faster the current gets and you keep staying in the same place, or get further behind.

Pretty pictures: The wintry, windy skies on Sunday.

Gorgeous skies!

Yes, indeed we are standing still. Although our state does it, too. Apparently the federal government gave their increase for SSI and the state contribution decreased by exactly the same amount. So this year there is no increase in SSI.
