Republicans Block $250 COLA Check Veterans, Seniors
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives voted down a bill to provide another $250 payment to Social Security recipients and disabled veterans. The payment is meant to replace a lost cost-of-living increase for 2011.
“I find it unconscionable that Republicans are blocking a little bit of help – $250 – for seniors and for men and women who risked their lives for our country, and at the same time Republicans are demanding a $700 billion tax break for the wealthy, millionaires and billionaires,” said Congressman Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan after the vote.
141 Republicans voted against H.R. 5987, the Seniors Protection Act, which would have given seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities who receive Social Security a one-time $250 payment in 2011.

Republicans Block $250 COLA Check Veterans, Seniors
We all know how hard they fought for the tax breaks for the rich. They fought so hard that unemployment, tax cuts for regular people and everything else could end because they wanted to make sure the rich got their tax cuts. If that was not enough to let people know they are don't care about us, then this should finally clear things up once and for all. They couldn't even let Veterans and seniors get a lousy $250 check to replace the cost of living we're not getting.

Republican rats either don't care about the elderly or will sacrifice them just to go against President Obama for the sake of going against President Obama. It shows how infantile they are, and how they can't be trusted to look out for Social Security, Medicare or human beings (unless they are rich.) They lied well in the past election and were able to get too many people to buy into their propaganda and vote out those who would not have allowed this to happen. Let's not be so dumb and gullible next time there's an election - just assume they're lying and you won't fall for their lies, then let's vote ALL Republicans out of Washington! Unless of course you want to see people in their 90s out cleaning toilets to survive.
