gloria, to call someone an illiterate and then come out and admit you have a spelling problem, hypocrite. i am sorry about your health problems and do not wish that on anyone. i am against democrates , because they cater to welfare and make the citizens need to relie on big govt. did you see all the people in new orleans that didnt leave because they needed their welfare checks and now are bilking us out of millions in fraud, tax money that is for those of us who work!!! it is time to down size and get people off of the govt checks, are you a check reciever gloria, got time to fly to d.c. use your vacation or do you just recieve a govt. , taxpayer backed check? much the same as bobby casey whom is being paid for a job he does not show up for!!!

as far as the base closing i wish no one out of work, but private and govt. are down sizing. i lost a good job in a mill in the 90s and didnt go around pointing at politicians for my job loss.maybe another base is doing the same job only better. sorry for your taxpayer backed job loss. time to move on, i did.
