All right - I watched the video. A few thing jumped out at me. I thought it might be huge medical expenses (heart surgery, liver transplant, etc.) but it the wife has arthritis. Not fun, but not the bank-breaking health issue I thought of. Of course arthritis is pretty common at that age so it targets more viewers.

I also wonder where the eight children are in all of this? I know we all want to be self-sufficient, but I know lots of folks that take care of their parents, live in the same house, etc. I would hope that their family is helping them out.

Oh, that's an attack against Obama, who has left his aunt living in poor conditions while he rakes in dough.

Not to nit-pick, but they said rheumatoid arthritis ... that's an autoimmune disease and the meds can be more expensive. However, that is often the doctor's fault ... prescribe the $2000 a month med instead of the $4 a month one that works just as well when you start. But that is the patient's fault for not researching and reading before they see the doctor ... 3000 square feet ... they should have enough space in that house for a computer to research meds.
