Based on assumptions presented above, that would have made us economically failed "libtards" milking the previous generation. Interesting assumptions.
Yeah I guess. If that's the assumption you want to make.


I wonder how many of the people saying they aren't at risk have ever done any lengthy caregiving of the previous generation. Boz, you ever a committed caregiver for months at a time? DannyJ, how about you? Mickey, you ever take care of somebody as a live-in caregiver? Or across-town caregiver?
No, not months at a time. We were down in So Cal early January for a couple weeks helping with my mother in-law who has dementia. That probably doesn't qualify though, but I do have great respect for caregivers. Live in or otherwise.

I don't care if he lives with his parents. I just thought his reactions were funny. I don't live with my parents. They live with themselves. Ok, yea, I live with my parents.
