I’ll Bet My Last Bottom Dollar…

In response to the following article produced about the Associated Press, I write:

I’ll bet my last bottom dollar that the AP report is correct.  I just know from talking to people who once had money that they no longer can afford to live in their homes, they can’t afford some of their drugs, etc., etc.  Some have moved into homes owned by their children who are finding it just as difficult to make ends meet.

Common sense, alone, should tell the government that with approximately 78 million baby boomers becoming 65 and older and thousands losing their savings, their Retirement Funds, their pensions, etc., no one knows whether to move right, left or anywhere. If this isn’t a crisis I don’t know what is!
