Seniors and the generation spending gap

At first glance it all looks very nice, but the problem is there's a cost to it. I'm "covered" for dental to the tune of 80% up to $1500 a year for which I pay $75.38 a month = $904.56 a year. There's one hitch- most years I don't get $1500 value, some years I don't even get $900 value and even on the years I get the $1500, I'm also paying $375 on top of the $904.56. What is does is smooth out the payments so you are not suddenly facing a debt of $thousands, but most people who think they are benefitting financially are just fooling themselves. Eye coverage is another similar situation. Bottom line WE ARE ALL paying for these programs. Where do you think G.S.T. goes?

Cannuck is desperate. Given his past history of lies, tantrums and flying off the handle. His posts are showing this and that he is mad as hell.
Desperation is all he has left.
Then he goes on a rampage, then he is gonzo.

He doesn't like having his inaccuracies thrown back in his face. Gotta run thanksgiving company has arrived.

There's a better way, set up a donation box at the gate. The amount of the donations might be surprising. In the Crowsnest Pass at Bellevue there is a campground, just the basics- table, sh*tter and water, where we used to camp a lot on our way from the Kootenays to Calgary. There was a donation box where we generally threw in a couple of bucks. No paper work or bureaucrat paid to collect the money.

Running a "just the basics" campground and running a national park aren't quite the same thing.

Well, isn't that special. I guess canucklehead has run out of arguments for Canadians. This is concerning discounts to AMERICAN national parks.

 

[petros]

He had arguments to run out of?

Where was it stated that this was a Canadian issue?

In the OP... or did you not read it?

Oooooooooops.....I'm sorry, of course you didn't read it. It's more than 5 lines long.

Don't be silly Gerry. Just because the link in the OP is Canadian, doesn't make it a Canadian issue.

That's what the OP is about. You want to talk about an American issue, start a new thread in the proper area. That is, if you are capable.

The OP is about seniors being the wealthiest generation and government handouts. That's a problem all over the industrial world. Suck it up Gerry.

ok, have some one read the OP to you and explain it in simple terms. Come back next week when you've had time to have it all explained to you.

Thanks for the tip Gerry. I hope it doesn't upset you too much but I'm going to talk about Americans some more.

Didn't think you'd be able to stay on topic. People with minimal brain dysfunctions have that problem. you have fun.

 

[petros]

What a putz.

Hey Ger- you talking about minimal brain DYSfunctions or minimal brain functions?

 

[gerryh]

Hey Ger- you talking about minimal brain DYSfunctions or minimal brain functions?

for canucklehead it's one and the same.

 

[JLM]

What a putz.

He can't help it Petros. In the schools here now, they call it "special needs"! (I call it f88king stupid)

 

[petros]

Putz is beyond your run of the mill SpEd.

Yeah, it's sad really.
