I agree with you Dave, and like you I don't have the answer... I just don't like our direction and have never voted for any incumbent! That is my only answer!
Yeah, I remember hearing 10 or 15 years ago that when the baby boomers hit Social Security age there would be more payees then payers.....and of course nothing was done about it! Many had a really good retirement accumulated in their 401K plans but when the stock market 'adjusted' during the bailout fiasco, most of them lost tons of money and are now trying to figure out how the heck they're going to live on a Social Security check.... I was smart, though!!!!!!! I invested all my money in Hot Rods, Project Cars, Future Project Cars, equipment, and tools!!!!! I just keep losing a little on every deal and trying to make it up in volume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
