The article talks about several interesting bills that are .... shall we say, laying about Congress
Several bills are on increasing retirement pensions ....
such as those seeking to raise the SSS minimum from 1,200 to 1,300 then to 3,000, and further to 5,000
of course i have my eyebrows on stun (like Spock's, i mean)
nice bills, but like he says also, sort of doomed to linger .....
there is a similar one for the government employees - which is to use the last pay as basis - same as the Armed Forces. I just want to say that soldiers have more risks than the usual government employee so i dont think that is exactly kosher .....
The plans for the senior citizens ... housing etc... is similar to the US Federal grant for seniors, there is special housing for seniors, but one has to queue for it. i've seen some of these residences in the US, and the well-run ones are certainly very nice.
i do miss though plans for the disabled, i am of course, one of them.
and i have gone on small rants in this bkig about broken promises from P-Noy about this.
So much for equal opportunity for the disabled .... there is not even a tax break for the disabled, there should be - to encourage the disabled to work, and not wait for hand-outs. i think the disabled should be granted double the exemptions of regular people -
paging P-Noy and his supporters, or has he lost a lot of them already?
Do read Horace's article to see what i mean
