Checking the mail today, I see I have yet another medical bill. Upon seeing it, I exclaim to myself: “Another one?! I thought I paid all these!” So when I get into the house, I open the letter with clinched jaw. To my surprise it _wasn’t_ a bill, it was a check for a $150. The letter stated that after reviewing my records, I’m due a refund. Ya’ see, it’s that damn Obamacare giving away that free money. What’s this country coming too? /Kidding //Doesn’t really have Obamacare.😃 ---

That Obama! Always giving away free money to people whom I assume are lazy deadbeats (otherwise why would Obama be sending money?)!!! ---

Well, don’t just sit there. Now that you’ve got some money, go out and create a job. ---

My rate went down by about 10 or 12 dollars a month. That’s the first time I can ever recall that happening. ---

Maybe you can donate it to a billionaire who really needs the money so he can create more jobs? ---

Not only that, but he gave me a day off with pay. Okay, it’s traditional (federal civilian non-postal employees have almost always gotten December 26 off when it is on a Friday, and December 24 when it is on a Monday), but at least nobody complained about “another of his Executive Orders”. ---
