My brother-in-law just retired from GM. He felt he was forced out and now he is terrified of life after GM. He and his wife and all the other folk in Michigan voted for Obama. They are getting what they asked for.

Sorry to hear about your BIL getting pushed out the door (and his misplaced faith in an empty suit), but why is he afraid of retirement - didn't he have enough years in, or is he afraid his pension & health insurance might evaporate in another "Change" aka New Deal aka Whim?

IOW, is he taking naps on the couch after lunch (THE American Dream :)), or browsing the local community college's program?

I'm curious what the moral in the plants has been like through this. Must've been pretty tough wondering.....
