Lone Star Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 This was sent to me in an email. After watching it, I realized that the points made are valid. We complain about everything, but what do we REALLY do about it? Here's a suggestion: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustdevil Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 > WHAT? This too easy for ya? Actually, it's too complicated for him. Remember who you are talking to. I like it! But we all know that the president and congress fully intend this money to go to their cronies and special interests that they are beholden to. That does not include the middle aged working person.

akflightmedic Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Give away 40 Trillion dollars??? 40,000,000,000,000???? Sucks for all the 49 year olds...do we repeat it again in a few years with this amazing new economy created by this brilliant idea?? What about future health care costs..how does this factor in? Also, please keep this statistic in mind....50 is NOT old despite what you think at your young age. A man is in his workforce prime at age 50, he has the most experience, knowledge, wisdom to pass on to the younger recruits. Are you suggesting we lose all of these valuable resources simply for what appears on the surface to be a quick and simple fix? I would be a whole lot dumber than I am now had it not been for all the "geriatrics" I have worked alongside with in my life or been taught by at schools. What a shame...
