Although I think the bigger government fraud scandal was the <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article14996.html">tungsten flaked gold bars</a>. Between this, the electronic/high frequency trades, and recent reports, I'd say we're maybe weeks from that second dip in the road. Maybe Christmas can save us. Every good Christian go out and shop now. God and your country need you. I think that would have at least covered the first year of their health insurance bill.

Speaking in general of the senior citizens in America it would appear that most of us stayed in good health with an accident or two until we hit 70 years old. I was able to cover a broken leg and some severe bites by a pelican on my own. But at 70 it seems that my body began to break down. I had always been physically active with aerobics in and out of the water. At 70, arthritis hit my joints. I had my Social security and medicate coverage and added a supplemental to cover the remaining costs. This seems to be common among my age group with even polio returning to cripple many in their 70s. Many fear that a government medicare program for everyone would decrease the coverage of us over 70. It comes at a time when we are retired and hit by a downsizing of the dollar and a cost of living going far and beyond our incomes. I had a retirement plan that fell apart. But my legs are starting to give out as fast as my income gave out. I am not complaining because I have no problem cutting back on my simple life. Before the seniors demand a federally sponsored health care program fir everyone, we must be guaranteed that we will not be limited in our care. That sounds selfish but there is no possible way to increase our income at our ages. This is not a rich development but is for the senior working classes. I've noticed a new interest in death with dignity as many here do not want to lean on their kids for help. Running out of money is not what Death with Dignity is all about. I'm in better shape than most but I'm missing my hearing and my daughter bought me a hearing aid at $2700. Not everyone here can afford that. My eyes are worn out from 70 plus years of reading. My brain is deleting my words. Please consider the elderly seniors living around you. We are paying into Medicare when the government deducts from our Social Security. Our supplemental coverage goes up and we have kitchens opening all over the city here to feed a good lunch once a week to the residents. Yes, we can work as a group but we fear the cutting back from our wasteful government who never seems to improve any system they are given. I officially declared to my doctor that there would be no more surgery. Many here are doing the same as our bodies look like a battle field belonging to the losing army. I've lived a hell of a good life and if I should drop dead at any time, I will exit laughing. I have one desire and that is to listen to every single musical note written by Schubert and Mozart. Both died in their early 30s so this should not be a stretch for me to locate. I would say I've already consumed 90% at this time. Our government needs to proceed slowly by trying out the system in certain areas of need. The children should come first. Without restrictions, our Vets should be 100% covered. Let's see if they can work out that much before we go whole hog. I’d like to share some medicare information with you.
