Needs Fixing

Wow! 35% of our total US budget is for senior citizens costs!

Non senior households pay an average of $10,673 toward senior costs!

Is this not culturally destructive?

The Boomers are beginning to collect. I can predict a tsunami wave of increased expenditures over the next 15 years! If I can, doesn't everyone know this?

According to USA Today's article yesterday, the government-paid benefits per senior for 2007 was $27,289. Wow!

For the first time ever medical, nursing care, and nursing home care costs exceeded Social Security payments!

Take a moment and digest these figures.

Our wise leaders have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund for decades. Is this forced payback? What can we do? Doing nothing is not the answer.

My Bob will be 62 in 3 years. Our turn.

'til later
