I'm now retired, so the money in the bank is what it is; if this mess causes some kind of mass inflation (as happened at the end of the 70s/early 80s) my nest egg will be scrambled. And my husband and I will definitely be depending on some SS to keep us afloat once he retires! What a mess. And yes, Jon Stewart is the only one who makes sense. Sometimes I think he should run for President!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588398189699340968.post-33281146566383191372011-07-26T12:56:31.975-05:002011-07-26T12:56:31.975-05:00Very well put, and I am 100% with your comment of ...Very well put, and I am 100% with your comment of the President's lack of.. well, balls.

Just like almost everyone else in America, we basically have no savings and go from check to check. Inflation and rising food, utilities and medical co-pays are eating us alive. If we miss even one SS check, we are toast. Very scary shit.<br /><br />I am extremely angry...I did not vote for Obama for milquetoast leadership. I feel betrayed.<br /><br />We have a plutocracy who controls our legislature, and it would appear, our president. Plutocrats have one interest, and one interest only...themselves, and their fortunes. In plutocratworld, the rest of us can get screwed.<br /><br />Are they screwing around with our future...yes, and they don't really give a shit regards the results.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.com
