The coming retirement crisis will be extremely painful for most. The decline in the defined benefit pension - from companies more profitable than ever - is just one of many lost battles in the war on the middle class started by Reagan and continued by his progeny such as Scott Walker.

I'm fortunate; in my mid 40's, I have paid cash for my house, have a real pension, and live below my means with zero debt, other than some student loan. I want a Blaser and an Anschutz, I'll settle for my SHR 970 and CZ 452.

Always amazing that those who support the Right the strongest have been the most victimized by it.


"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" -Isaac Asimov
