Monday was the sixth worst day in the history of Wall Street. I am so thankful that attempts of Bush and McCain to privatize Social Security by turning it over to the likes of the Lehman Brothers were not successful and already put into effect. Social Security is in a bad way currently, but privatization, elective or not, would have completely done in our senior citizens that depend on these funds for survival.
This little treasure was found in a firepit.
