I once had a near-and-dear Toyota 4WD, extra cab pickup. That little devil could navigate the narrowest of two-wheel rut backwood trails...

I had/have a great mechanic that kept her highway/trail worthy over 200k miles. But eventually the day came.... Ray (the mechanic) said: "Well I could save her, but it's throwing cold cash down a pit"

Humans have to understand, they don't have the "right" to be supported into their nineties. This is gonna be a hard 'pill' to swallow for the perennially narcissistic boomers.

Yup. If they rely on gov't, they are in for a surprise. The whole system is broke. They better be on good terms with their kids...

ah....its not the boomers who are the money grabbers here (except the boomer politicos)_...

this lies right at the feet of the the older generation....

my opinion is that if you want to live to your 85 then YOU should fork over the money for it....

why make the wage earners have to shoulder all of this...

I say that knowing full well that I and my brothers and sister will take care of our parents in whatever they need...Its OUR duty, not the govt.....

Gov Lamb was right.....people do have a duty to die, eventually..
