More politics

I really wonder sometimes what would happen if the United States let the rest of the world fend for themselves and just took care of Americans. I get letters raising funds for every country in the world but I never get one for the needy people right here in this country. I heard yesterday the cost of living increase is the smallest in years for social security recipients 2.4%. I haven't heard what the congressional people voted for themselves. If the government would give me a check just once equal to a senators years wages I could pay all my bills and could actually live on my Social Security Check. How about you?
