At the expense of the elderly and handicapped? Has to be another way. We should take care of our own as we take care of other countries in aid. I look for the elderly to pitch a giant fit over any lose of their medicare/SS (which Ryan has planned) Might be a big mistake to have picked Ryan as this could be the deciding factor to give Obama four more years. Just an opinion here.....

Are you ready for retirement yet? I am. But your still young but older than me. But these changes could affect you and if you havent got a start on investing and saving etc...I would start. maybe having a few rental properties etc...

Its your age group that will hurt the worst. My age group has plenty of time to plan and I think we'll figure it out, but its those 40-50 year old people I really worry about. For a number of reasons. 1. our savings and investment rate isn't very high and hasn't been in a long time. 2. The housing market has sunk alot of people in that age group at a time in their lives that isn't easy to recover. 3. I hate to say it but people over 50 have trouble getting and keeping well paying jobs. I have an aunt that has ...shit Idk multiple degrees and had years of experience in Quality Assurance and some other stuff and can't get a job for crap. I for one plan on working until I die...because for one thats who I am but two Ive never planned on having those safety nets. Ive always prided myself in making my own way anyway. I just worry about people who are in bad positions right now. And most are very hard working people whose lives are about to get worse.

I will say capital gains tax cuts helped me too. Its those people who are making 400-500 a week who are sure paying their bills etc...and eating. But it don't leave much left if anything to invest.

Theyll be working until they die. And in turn that will keep younger people from getting jobs as well. It may take a 100 years to turn this dynamic around.

Good for you. It is refreshing to hear you get it. By the time they retire most people have less than $25,000 in savings and investments. Many have nothing. That is a big mistake.

If people would put just a few dollars out of every pay check away and leave it alone it is amazing how it adds up over a working lifetime. Such a simple thing to do, just giving up a couple indulgences a week and not spending on stuff you don't really need is all it takes.

Ammo is more important than guns that use it because everyone will still have guns, just nothing to feed them.

Likewise, components for reloading including a press or two, scales, bullet molds, dies in many calibers, bullets, primers, shot, wads, and propellant will hold value as there will be a lot of empty rifle and pistol brass and shotgun hulls laying around to refill.

Romney has screwed the poo with Ryan. He is only gonna have the right side of the right side voting for him. hehehehe

So does whiskey. I have a basement full of alcohol. Just buy a few bottles a week. as far as ammo goes i am a reloader so I have lots and lots of supplies.

And pot. I hear it's good for a lot of medicinal purposes. Without the FDA and Federal Government in the way who would cae about hiding it? I bet it would be in great demand. If you can get them, it would be prudent to save some seeds! The pharmecutical companies won't be in business for sure. The pot gower might be the next and only pharmacy available!

Yeah Ryan has been in Washington his whole life and been in office since he was 22. Where are all the jobs he created and when has he ever worked for anyone other than the government. Great choice so experienced at not working at a regular job. And Romney and his wife do not have to worry about "YOU PEOPLE". If you do not know that this is an insult then you are not as smart as you think you are.

Oh so of course the Lightbringer Obama had so much more real world experience eh?

Independant does not mean Republican. You are so tight assed republican 58 but you are the only one who doesn't know it. How many Democrats have you voted for. Fact is I am a registered Republican and I have voted for republicans until Obama.

Blastemy? Blastemy is that you are still living and feeding off your betters. Nuff said about that.

Biden cracks me up. If I was advising Obama I'd tell him to put the crazy uncle back in the attic lol.

You can't name one can you?
