TOTUS must have had a couple with the bus driver, Ralph Cramdon.

Quote

The president, on day three of his Midwest bus tour, replied: “If you hear something is happening, but it hasn’t happened, don’t always believe what you hear.”

When the room broke into soft laughter, the president added, “No — and I’m serious about that.”


Now who are you goin ta believe, me or your own lyin eyes? :whatever:

The buck stops....when you give up or shoot yourself.

I had a 6 year running battle with the IRS over a mistaken refund they made that they refuse to take back. Then a few years later when they discovered their mistake they wanted to charge me penalty and interest on it. It was a rather small amount really and my CPA begged me to just pay it but it was the principle of the whole thing. I finally showed my ass and got it resolved.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I had a similar problem with the VA.  When they finally figured out they were wrong I sent them a check and kept the interest.  But they got some real stubbon when it comes to believing they made a mistake.
