In reply to the discussion: How will you change your life if Mitt "wins?" [View all]Sekhmets Daughter
(7,515 posts)9. I'm retired now...
so my own life won't change much. Like you I feel badly for the 40 plus set. My children are 33 and soon to be 30 but they should be fine. No education debt and good jobs that can't be out sourced. I feel so badly for the women who are and will be of child-bearing age...until the rethugs over-play their hand and the country takes a hard left turn again. All politics are cyclical and I think we are closer to the end of the right turn cycle than one may imagine....I think the wing nuts have pushed it too far and too hard in the past couple of years.
