The only sick chuckle I get out of all of this is something that Rush said last week, which I will paraphrase: the Boomers are responsible for this mess (and I am ashamed to be one of them), but they haven't realized yet that THEY are the ones whose plugs will be pulled when the time comes.
And where we disagree the most is that I believe we have lost. We already have a tyrannical government (all branches) that tramples our fundamental rights on a regular basis. I also believe there is an element of Satanistic ritual to it all, because that keeps popping up and it can't always be a coincidence. The pendulum will swing back eventually, but there's going to be some darkness before it happens.
I only hope I'll already be gone when it all comes apart (I already have a durable power of attorney, so my wife would have to pull the plug).
Be very nice to your wife!
I am old enough to be your mother so my view is that the boomers who are approaching retirement need their very old parents estates to properly fund their lifestyle. I am sort of a WWII baby which makes me older than the boomers. My plan is a durable power of atty to my husband who is the most trustworthy person I know. And if he dies before me, I am going to disregard my father who told me with great vehemence to never let go of my control of my money, he was adamant about it. I will disregard him and try to give it away to my children as much as I can so my death will not benefit anyone and will be an occasion of great grieving.
