All-On the Car radio today-Herman Cain was sitting in for my guy 'Neal Boortz'; he said we are in for the 'Perfect Storm,over our 'Government's Collection & use of Money? ;DIt is being talked about an indebtedness of 10 trillion dollars in the not to soon future? Medicare,is busted-broke-so the funds to pay on that will come from some other place? :-*Social Security,will pay out more than it will take in 2017? Will the money taken from the Trust Fund ever be repaid? 8-)A comment to a caller,"The Dem.'s will raise Taxes,reduce Benefits & keep more for their Programs"? The Current Congressional Leadership ( Reid & Palosi) indicated they will cancel the 'George Bush Tax Cut & do all they can to make 'George W. Bush'seem the worst president ever? :-XThink about 'Zero Based Budgeting'.which means 'Every item is on a Yearly Schedule',everyone works on closing off at the end of a year? Like FY '09 starts on 01 October 2008 & completes on 30 September 2009!! Great ,huh? These type things have to come into being ,or as a Nation -we will go the way of others? -RichW/49

All- ;DDid or do you know that just before the 'Start of the Korean War-we the United States Marine Corps; were ticketed to be dissolved-based on information to be given to President Harry S. Truman, by his then 'New' Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson. :PThe idea was to completely erase the USMC & its propaganda on past glories/battles? The Ground Forces would be integrated into the Army & the Aviation Assets would go to the recently created Air Force. 8-)This started in 1948,but 1949/50 were the years when the most pressure was applied to Congress? Truman/Marshall & Johnson all 'Army' men wanted this to happen. Some in Congress fought hard to keep us & Mac Arthur,although Army had many 'Marines' under his Command in the South Pacific ,under WWII. He wanted us to stay alive & fought the others in DC. Thanks to the 'North Koreans' & their attack;we became very important again? Semper Fi-The Crazy Old Man-RichW/49

Hey, I don't know where to place my comments on asking ;D ' Terrry,if he had a chance to talk to one or both 'LarryK & JoeD'? I haven't seen anymore on VA trips or recommended Therapies? We are interested in you & your problems? It is said a 'Large Group' of 'Nam Vets' need help of some nature? Are they addressing their problems & asking for treatment? One hears all kind of stories? :oI know personally when I was involved w/the DAV in California;w/members of our chapter? :PThe Crazy Old Man-Semper Fi-RichW/49

JoeD-Maybe we can find someone who has had experience dealing w/the VA? ;DFor Terry ,I mean;plus LarryK previously said he would talk to him? Enough said! Thanks!! Glad you had a chance to go to MCAS,Beaufort,SC & see & visit w/the 'Current USMC Crash Firefighters & Rescueman'? You gave them info. they don't know the 'AFFR Association exists? I am not trying to throw rocks at anybody? I will bet you that the 'Overall Work Force' from all the stations are in the same mode? Swanny, We need a Senior Retired Non-Com to just help us on trying to get a West Coast Chapter going? :DLater this summer ,will catch up w/you on this?Semper Fi-The Crazy OLD Man-RichW/49
