  • Jeff, I'm a boomer that defies the norm. Had a garden & canned, sewed our clothes, made all our meals, used the 'wedding' towels for 30 years etc. Meanwhile saving like a mad person so as to not be a burden on our children.

  • Good grief. Does anyone here realize their individual responsibility to save for their own retirement?????? Every two weeks we put $10 of a $150 paycheck into a mutual fund back in the early 1960's. For perspective, back then, $20 bought two weeks of groceries.

  • I don't have a stake in WM or know anyone who works there. That being said, has anyone here considered the reason so many products on ALL store shelves are foreign made? We are now mainly a service industry country. We have the wealthiest 'poor' people in the world.

  • You are correct in your assumption that the real unemployment rate is about double what is reported. When bennies run out, there is no way for the FedGov to keep track of them. Have they found a job? Have they given up and applied for welfare and food stamps? No way to accurately find the number.

  • I think that perhaps the women and children who have died in Gaza might have had a chance if Hamas hadn't set up their rockets in schools, hospitals and neighborhoods. I think this is the most inhumane behavior I have witnessed. Most societies try to protect their women and children.

  • Michael, I've used Twitter since it first came out. I use it for political and financial info. Great place to click on tiny URL link to news articles and blogs. I'm not there for social interaction. In other words, I don't follow Brad Pitt for pete's sake.

• GOP divided on how to replace new health law

  Sun Sep 19, 2010
