Well, if you're not concerned about your bank CDs being artificially held down around 3% by the Fed while your real rate of inflation in elder goods (food, fuel, medicine, health care) is three or four times your earned interest rates, then you're either very wealthy or not paying attention.

Older folks ought to be realizing by now that political "conservatism" in the 21st century is not "conservative" at all. Republicans have been screwing the seniors over pretty badly. Remember, only the Democrats have protected Social Security and Medicare---not Republicans, and most certainly not John McCain and his new beauty queen, Sarah.

Please vote wise this time. Banks are cleaning up while you get a pittance. Don't help em rob you.
