Posiedon Plane

Rainbows and Roses — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 20:09:24 GMT

It looks like go to send this new plane of our Armed Services to seek out help in the search. It seems to be amazing and it looks for underwater subs.....etc. I so hope and pray that there will be answers in the next few days.........lots of high tech equipment. I would love to learn more about the plane.

I heard on the radio today that the U.S. has budgeted $4 billion to aid in the search. I think they're up to $2 billion as of now.

I know somebody's going to blast me for this because those billion dollar figures are pretty outrageous, but we taxpayers need to remember that these kinds of missions accomplish a lot in terms of training the troops. If they have to run training missions anyway, why not have a real goal in mind. I've heard that from state National Guard leaders who help with "citizen" problems like people who get lost in the mountains/wildnerness, disaster aid following natural events like floods, etc.

VCamp I see where you are coming from and it would be nice if they would repay the money but I don't know how that works.........you know a person can't get their Social Security in Malaysia if they wanted to live there.......maybe some things will change but I think that government is pretty strict. I still say America is a fabulous place. Yet I would live in Italy, France, Ireland.........but since I won't be moving I will be fine right here. There are not many places I would rather be.

I forgot to add that yes it is sad they are getting training this way but it will help them for future disasters. Sad though. I wish those people were on an Island waiting for help but I don't think they are alive. I pray I am wrong.

R&R, isn't today your appointment with your ENT? I hope all goes (or went) well.

You can collect your social security if you live in Malaysia. Just have direct deposit, which I believe you now have to have..

If U R really serious about your statement, then Google is your friend.
