It also kinda says something that you're running off of four retirements as well and you describe yourself as being on the wrong side of the middle of middle class. That's really not a great place for us to be in. Yeah, it really does.

My income from work and Navy retirement for the last full year I worked, 2002, was well short of $100,000. But, we have 4 retirement checks coming in, own (at least half) our own home and can afford modest car payments, all the while putting something back each month for the proverbial day. I know I am never going to be a millionaire and am not even close to being at the middle of the "middle class." But I know there are a hell of a lot of people earning far less from working every day than I make in retirement. That says a whole heck of a lot about Bush.
