8. Thank you. I feel sorry for the younger people...

that this is what I and my generation are leaving them. The crush of us getting older will have a huge impact on them. It's not going to be pretty. Of course it will be fine if you have money. But the younger generations will be tapped out, and paying the price. This COULD of been solved by a single payer, but no, we will have insurance companies on our necks for the rest of our lives.

The bigger picture I was going for was life is too short to spend in a country that has lost it's values, and run by two parties, one that has no values whatsoever, and the other that just got fucking lost in the bank vault. You as a younger person, or older with marketable talents that other countries would want to see about being in place that is not so naked in it's voracious appetite to keep people in economic constant terror and fear, and now, still, medical care limbo.

I try to be optimistic, but I myself can't go anywhere. I am offering advice. I have two college degrees, and am guilty of the cime of being old. Sadly the government cannot redo the stats so I disappear off the rolls like the unemployed and gave up, People like me are here for good.

I don't see any great change, revolution, mass hysteria or spectacular change, just a general lurching slowly and deliberately to a place where things more and more just don't work. President Obama had a amazing chance to do some things, just even some that would make me more optimistic, but he has chosen not to.

Most likely the next President will be republican, and we will all be talking about how much an asshole he is, as he will spy on us, take advantage of the poor, not make any HC changes, give massive amounts of aid to the banks and Wall Street and generally do what is a blurred line between republicans and Democrats.

Again, life is too short to live in a country where you are under constant stress, there are other counties out there that value their citizens, and not use them as fodder.
