At a time of severe economic hardship for Americans living at or near poverty, cuts to housing assistance programs will only result in increasing the numbers of individuals and families becoming homeless. This is not only an inhumane policy but one that will cost taxpayers much more to fix in the long run. As someone who has benefited from housing assistance, I know how vitally important and worth saving these programs are.

The current Newbury Road Post Office in Newbury Park, CA enjoys a central location and convenient access for customers. It is convenient for walking to as it is for driving, as it is right off the 101 freeway. Public transit is also available. Energy and time are conserved through customers' use of the current location. The new proposed location in Grande Vista is remote , with no public transportation and in an unsafe and deserted area at night.

After veteran is rendered disabled from an accident caused by the negligence of co-worker. The State of Minnesota allows for the garnishment of his disabilty check. I don't see any reason that they should seek such a large amount. Ther should be a limit on what they can take. To see full details go tp WWW.ripoffreport.com,Type State of Minnesota in search engine. Thank you K. Reese

Last week Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a 6% budget cut in the amount of $240 million from the programs and agencies providing services to individuals with with special needs. This cut is to start April 1st. These services and supports are essential to these people state of health, well-being, and quality of life. The proposed budget cut of 6% cannot should not go through.

President Obama and Congress seem bent on reforming "entitlement" programs, but they are afraid of public reaction, as well they might be. Let's tell them how it can be done without hurting those who depend on these programs. FYI from AARP: "Social Security is NOT going bankrupt. Even in the unlikely event that nothing changes and the program's entire surplus runs out in 2033, as projected, checks would keep coming. Payroll taxes at current rates would cover 77 percent of all the future benefits promised. That's true for young and old alike, and includes inflation adjustments" FYI: Cuts to the Pentagon's budget can support these and other programs. The Pentagon's 2012-2013 budget exceeds the COMBINED military budgets of ALL other countries in the world. Even with severe cuts, the U.S. remains the most powerful country in the world.

"During a Court Ordered parental visit my three year old son, (at the time) had been in the vehicle with my ex-husband who was highly intoxicated BAC .14%. This is not my ex-husband state officials and employees. However, our conserns were ignored. Even's first, second or even third driving while intoxicated offense. I along with my eldest son had given numerous caution to numerous government and more concerning, the judicial system did not want pursue any action of enforcement for Child Endangerment or Disorderly Persons. February 14, 2013, my ex-husband had been arrested yet again for driving under the influence his BAC .20%. He was released R.O.R. And, the only consequence he has since received had been to turn in his driver’s license. We need enforcement of laws set forth." If Government is instituted for safety and protection than why, are such laws not enforced? Enforce protection for children by enforcing the laws of protection.

Social Security is unsound BECAUSE the Feds use it as their piggy bank. Instead of investing Trust monies, they 'borrow' Trust assets in the form of 'special issue' T-bills. These pay stupidly LOW returns to the Trust. In contrast, State government pension systems invest in broad markets. Those pay TWICE the benefits of Social Security, at EARLIER ages, and at LESS in payroll contributions. It is INVESTMENT RETURNS that are needed to properly fund Social Security, and NOT benefit reductions or higher payroll contributions! Duh!

Stop road/highway construction projects which are wasting taxpayers money on roads that are in fair to good condition.

Why does a multi millionaire thats has worked in the private sector and still does and makes 300k doing so milk the system for 20k a yr.

Looting Social Security

As a disabled senior citizen, my access to a home health aide depends on Medicaid. Refusing to expand the Medicaid program denies thousands of Texans that help and sends billions of dollars to other states. Expand Medicaid and bring the millions of dollars that Texans have paid in federal taxes back to Texas.

We believe that service north of Castleton Square Mall is vital to the community. This loop will become even more important as a feeder to the new 86th Street Crosstown bus. Many people either depend upon our buses for work, shopping or simply getting around or enjoy the freedom of not having to own and drive a car or asking others for a ride.
