That's a little different sounding than what it sounded like before. If I misinterpreted, my apologies. Yep, life's tough and we do what we have to do to get by. I'm in the same boat. I can still pay my bills but the thread is skinny and frayed. It won't take much to tip the scales. But even if it does tip, that doesn't mean that I deserve the government to bail me out or pay for my health care. I've been paying social security and medicare for almost 50 years and I'll probably never see any of it. If I do, it will not be anything near what I have paid in. My money has gone to someone else and this recent round of bullshit has just about wiped out my retirement. The only one's that will be taking care of my old ass is my family...if hey can. If they can't, well who knows? I guess I'll just keep on keeping on.

If you thought and STILL think that Obama was the lesser of two evils, good luck to you, but I don't hold out much hope for you and the rest of the country.

I'll just defer to racinrick up above. He's apparently got a good handle on how things really.are.
