Make Room For Daddy

and Mommy & Grammy & Grampy..

If the R & R Gang finagles their way into the White House, they will act with breakneck speed to whittle away at Social Security and other things.

They will have the giddy acceptance of the house and probably the senate too. They will be able to do what was denied Obama.. get things done.

The things they want to do are toxic, but watch them get done anyway.

Look for the student loan interest to double when the "hail Mary extension" expires.

There will be millions of older folks (and some not quite so old yet) who will be unable to afford to live on their own. Medicare deducted from SS checks, and the cost of the supplementals are almost too much for many already....Now make it a lump sum voucher and you can see the problem.

They may just be needing to double up- triple up just to make ends meet.

We USED to be a multi-generational society, but that was quite a while ago. It could get very interesting..
