Senior Citizens Old Age Security dated November 3, 2007

Another article never published by the local paper.
To all of my first-rate senior friends. I have good news and bad news for each and every one of you 65 and over.
THE GOOD NEWS
Our Old Age Security just took a leap on October 2, 2007 from $497.83 to $ 502.31 a gigantic increase of $4.48 per month or in percentage 0.09 %. Now Please!!!!! restrain the clapping of hands and one's dancing around the May Pole one has not seen the bad news.
THE BAD NEWS
The Ontario Power Generation is proposing a 3% Hydro increase per month for the average household amounting to about $3.50 per average household bill. The senior citizens are left with with $0.98 to take pleasure in the governments over passionate bigheartedness, not sufficient to even buy a double, double at Tim Horton's
The grouping of give and take brings to mind a few appropriate proverbs. "Here today, gone tomorrow," " Don't look a gift horse in the mouth," "You can't have your cake and eat it too." and" Easy come easy go."
One must keep in mind the charity of our prosperous government does not just expand to the seniors but also to our already well remunerated politicians who each month year after year receive a prearranged cost of living increase, an increase over and above the seniors by an extensive amount effective every April 1. This is true and you can take that to the bank beside you abysmal $0.98 cents.
