I'm semi-retired, and a front-runner of Baby Boomers (1946). I still have $750,000 in safe places, and a house I bought for $39,000 34 years ago. I'm not looking to sell it, but even in this down market, I've been offered $445,000 for it. Not a bad investment at all. I don't take Social Security, but I will when I'm 66, whether I need it or not. It's mine and I'm going to spend it. (Thanks FDR)
The "Me" Generation you referred to, was not prepared to retire even before the shit hit the fan. The average nest egg for 3,500 surveyed folks, over 55 year old, was $57,000!! What were those morons thinking about?
You see, I took care of "ME". I don't want a government hand-out. I really don't want this particular government, headed up by an empty suit, who has broken most of his promises for CHANGE, by putting Clinton retreads in high positions, and they in turn have put lobbists to work for them with a government job. Clinton, Biden, Summers, etc. etc. Same old, same old. "Change"...my ass. BHO is as full of shit as all the rest of those bags of wind in Washington.
I'll bet you my $445,000 house that your lord Obama does not have all the troops out of Iraq by April 2010. Moveon.org and George Soros are not going to be happy with that, they bought and paid to have their "man" in the White House. They want payback. Sorry boys, the eggplant put one over on you too.
The morons who voted for him were gulping the Flavor Ade, while sticking Gummy Bears up their noses on the short bus.
