Honest fears

I wonder if my wife and I can survive a Romney administration.

Being a Wall Street supporting right of center corporatist, I expect Obama to slowly destroy the programs that my wife and I depend on, but we might have a chance.  Romney will kill them quickly.

If the private insurance we have can be made to honor their contracts we can manage for a while, but when we hit so-called retirement age we’ll be sunk.

Disability and medical expenses have destroyed our savings and put us in major debt.  I’ve already cashed in and exhausted one 401(k) and a pension is about to go the same way.  Even with insurance our medical expenses are over $20k a year.  Without Social Security and Medicare we won’t be able to survive.

I am voting for the lesser of two evils, to be sure, but I am doing it in the hopes that we have some chance of survival.

If the typically lying CEO wins, I can only hope that both Houses of Congress have sane Democratic majorities.  I know, that’s a pretty thin hope however you look at it.

If I weren’t disabled I would still worry about the future of this country, but as things are now, I worry about next year.
