Some commentators were saying Blacks were angry and insulted about his appeal. All I know is that I am praying for his safety, our country and hopefully that Trump is elected.SRKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-55225186311080852702016-08-22T18:51:15.728-04:002016-08-22T18:51:15.728-04:00" In brief, they have to be able to see that ..." In brief, they have to be able to see that the future will be nothing like the present." <br /><br />Doug, the above statement you made in your post certainly sums up perfectly what the voting public fails to acknowledge.

Maybe you also were told that. <br /><br />In those years, there were no IRAs, Social Security paid very little. So for next 30 or so years you save. Fine. Then what happens - your savings disappear FAST. <br /><br />How come you ask? A new dimension occurs - nursing homes, such as Arbor Glen. Your savings now goes to THEM. Arbor Glen costs about $120,000 a year, for one person.The Historiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-62042198406806587782016-08-22T18:41:42.567-04:002016-08-22T18:41:42.567-04:00Hi Doug - Thanks for replying.

With regard to your point #2 please reread the entire paragraph that shows what Trump must do is promote capitalism & thereby change the government dependent mindset – that is what Trump can do for everyone.<br />RTEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-44405519503278346622016-08-21T23:19:56.669-04:002016-08-21T23:19:56.669-04:00A couple of points: "Come to find out consume...A couple of points: "Come to find out consumers are quite aware of Dr. Shoven’s above point & are more interested in saving for retirement than spending on every trinket or gadget that comes along even if the yield on their savings is negative."<br /><br />While I agree with your main premise, I have not seen any evidence of "consumers being more interested in saving for retirement". Americans have once again pushed up to record levels of consumer debt.<br /><br />You point out the that Trump needs to drive home what politicians can do to improve lives of every American. Unfortunately that is the problem; politicians feeling the need to "improve" our lives. <br />DCnoreply@blogger.com
