[PGR88]

Generations of Americans have been trained to rely on the nanny-state, socialism, and progressive government.

But socialism and progressive government always fails

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The biggest enemy of freedom and Liberty is power-mad government.

Their staggeringly stupid “American Rescue Plan” during COVID and then the even more stupid “Inflation Act” have ruined us.

so our situtation is that neither of us our govt workers or retirees although husband does get a pension from his 5yrs active and national guard....comes with tri care for life which saves us a bundle since I'm on several meds...

his company went bankrupt so he gets a small check from the pension guarenty board....

then its SS....

we both worked hard for many decades....I worked until I was 67 ....

I saved regularly for my retirement with the hospital kicking in as little as they could get away with...

we did the dollar cost averaging good growth mutual funds bit...

so big deal....we followed all the sound financial advice and look what has become of our retirement......its sinking like a lead balloon....

our biggest problem is our home...our 5 acre homestead with a big shop and a regular meat shop and a walk in smoker and a big garden....

we are being killed by property taxes....

we can't claim low income because our income looks higher because we take money out to afford the property taxes....

this is what playing by the rules gets you.
