Rickmers, you really need to get to a doctor and have your medication
checked, and also tested for Alzheimer's and/or dementia.

Steve, what part of the wholesale disenfranchisement of the City of
Benton Harbor [Michigan] in order to give it away to build a friggin' golf
course is "unreal"? I can't think of a single instance of government
overreach that even comes close.

Yes, the fine Republican Governor Snyder of Michigan that Lare helped
vote into office turned out to be a closet DICTATOR, throwing out of
office the duly and freely elected city officials of Benton Harbor,
going against the *core values* of this country.

The only "justice" that may come out of this is when Snyder starts
taxing Lare's pension (assuming Lare gets one) and Ryan guts Medicaid,
Medicare and Social Security that Lare may be on.

As far as I know there will be no gutting of Social Security as I know it and am
currently collecting. However, as I calculated a few weeks ago, I could continue
to draw my current benefit out of savings for 198 months and that doesn't even
include what I receive from my two pensions.

My standard advice to all: Go to work and save and invest your money. If
necessary get two jobs. Bottom line, save as best as you can, and do your best
to avoid living paycheck to paycheck.

Two full time jobs at minimum wage will get you 30K a year.
