For more than 20 years, the medical field has been discussing the aging of America.

The medical field, the insurance industry, and Congress (via the NIH) have been researching this and discussing this for over two decades. Now that we are actually in this place in history, Houston has a problem...so to speak. Over two decades to prepare for the bilking of a generation. Over two generations to extort protection money from us and to rob our children and grandchildren of a future.

It wasn't the poor or working poor or even the majority of the middle class who set up the ponzi schemes and financial landmines that have gotten us here. Yes, there were people who made bad decisions, but there were countless numbers among us who made sound choices and are still being robbed in broad daylight, sometimes by the sherriff.

We must find some way to make both the economic and political elites fear us.

And, I'm afraid, conditions are going to have to get worse before the masses will do this.
