2. Obama should make that the central attack this week.
"If John McCain had had his way on the economy your social security money would be in the stock market."

8. Option 4: My retirement at this point is looking better than my present economic situation since my

10. Yes, it's good to have a little something people cannot gamble away no matter what.

SS is like leaving enough for the tolls on the drive home in your glove compartment when you drive to Atlantic City.

(Not accusing you of gambling. Just noting that it's good to not have every penny 'in play')

13. Even our usual contrarians aren't voting for option one.

Apparently even the trolls won't go that far. Interesting, to say the least.
