Grandpa's Cheap Nursing Home
Elusive points out what most people know, old people fear, and young people plain don't mind speaking their mind about.
What's great is this is the "shooting in the foot" aspect of this.
You voted to have future generations take care of you.
And you
1. Mismanaged the economy so horribly that when it's time for the youth to start working there are no jobs and no economic growth
2. You've brought them up to be entitlement monsters, so they have no allegiance or loyalty to you. They're only concerned about themselves (sound familiar?)
3. You've made it impossible for them to even work up the wealth to pay for your impossible retirement, not just because you've crashed the economy, but you told them to "follow their heart" and whatever other leftist 60's crap, and now none of them have the skills to get the jobs to earn the money to pay the taxes for your SS and medicare.
Your question when looking for a nursing home won't be, "do you accept medicare?"
It will be, "Does this nursing home have heat?"
Enjoy the decline!

Book is Done
Officially completed my second book.
It is now in the final stages of editing and (assuming all goes well) should be available Monday (definitely on Kindle bar some kind of unforeseen circumstance).
I am particularly excited about this book because it is about as well-timed as my previous one on the housing crash (which was released the day Lehman Brothers went bankrupt) and I believe it has the ability to really do some damage. Without giving it away, it may just become the most inciting, controversial book in a while. And, oh yes, it most definitely has that Cappy Cap charm about it. The charm that manages to enrage and piss off all the right people.
I am, however, asking a favor of anybody out there. Not to buy the book (though certainly feel free to do so when it's released), but rather come up with some ideas in terms of marketing. My goal is to make this book as successful as if it had been launched by a New York publishing house. The purpose being that if we can do that, it would hasten what I believe to be the inevitable demise of traditional publishing houses. That and if it sells 1 million copies I'm so retiring and never working again. Probably would just write more books.
In any case, fire away if you have any ideas. Radio show hosts that would be receptive to it. Bloggers I'm unaware of that might be willing to plug it. You name it.
Thanks for your help and continued readership,
