Companies were defaulting on pensions long before GWB became president. Your lack of knowledge regarding that history is surpassed only by your obvious bias.

Maybe you could help his Aunt decipher the Medicare laws and lend a helping hand in other ways too.

People hate those that make them feel their own inferiority.

But if she voted for Dumbya and his gang, then she really deserves what she got. If she didn't, my deepest sympathies to her.

Thanks. She didn't. She's a tough old bird. I think anyone that makes it to 82 has got to be tough. Not great timing either, her sister just passed away recently and she is the last of her siblings. Both her children have passed away and her grandchildren have sort of re-aligned with the surviving spouses family. I've told her that she always has a place with us, but "dependency" is worse than death. Can't quite figure out how she picked that up. I know that when she was a child/young adult, the extended family was helping each other out right and left.
