30. The survey by the Feds is sobering and will be used to promote 'ownership'
by the neocons -- get the gov't out rather than make the government work for us on health care and retirement security. To quote financial advisers--er, excuse me, wealth management consultants-- is silly because they are always going to promote investment in stocks and bonds. That's how they make money.

I am also one of the fortunate ones who doesn't need to worry much about finances as an adult but I spent half my childhood worrying about whether there was enough money in loose change to buy luxury items like toilet paper. I know first hand what it's like to be without any spare pennies. When you're in that position there's not much you can do. That said, everyone else really needs to save every single cent that we can because we are on our own.

We also need to hire politicians who promote agendas focused on the interests of people rather than business.
