11. I have such mixed feelings about Greenspan's statement
As a babyboomer who:

A. Has a lot less in the 401K than a few years ago, and even then it wasn't enough.

B. Has a husband who was the main breadwinner whose job was outsourced to India. He got a new job..at a little more than half what he was making.

C. Above referenced husband has had some serious health problems and he'll be very, very fortunate to work until he's 65, let alone older.

all this makes me a bit nervous. OTOH, as an American and a Democrat, it tells me that the election is now all about pocketbook issues and the Bush administration has nothing to offer and no credibility unless your pocketbook runneth over already. So in that way, it makes me pretty happy.
