2. Thank God, a Democratic president wound down that Republican Iraqi war after a few years and

is winding that 10-year war in Afghanistan. Considering what is likely in store for seniors to, in essence, help pay for those wars and junior's tax cuts for the wealthy and the recent tax cuts for those with incomes in the $250,000-$450,000, I wonder how much greater security they will feel during their remaining golden years?
