5. these are mostly high earning people with some savings and
pensions. And they say they are just 'limping along'?? I wonder what their expenses are--- when you retire you are supposed to have your house paid off and as much savings you could pile up. These people seem to be the ones that follow the republican ideal, their own business or a high powered jobs, then they get hit by the bad greed is good economy and need to fall back on the social insurance program. If these guys are just 'limping along' I worry about the people who do not have 401Ks and who earned minimum their whole life and were not able to pile up savings.
