15. Why?

Its our golden years. Yes, I can see it being more expensive because of our age, as the body starts to break down. But most of us will be on limited income soon. In my case, I have been doing contract work for the past 7 years, with short contracts and little pay. Finding a full time job with benefits at this age is extremely hard to find. It all started when Bush trashed the economy. So here I sit, spending 4-6 hours a day seeking full time employment, no UE benefits because of the republicants, and each day becomes more frustrating. I worked in IT my entire life, and cannot find a decent job. Even when I apply for jobs 1/4 my salary, I am told I am not experienced in the field I am applying for. So what am I to do? I expect I will not find employment. No income for the next 2 years, until I reach age 62, with a wife that is ready to retire now, and will be making 1/4 of what she would full time(SS and pension). And now to get a big kick in the ass on paying for insurance, which is suppose to be affordable? I don't think so.
What's so affordable about it?
