You know, I think that that kind of attitude, that kind of solicitation to take advantage of senior citizens to try to make more money for whoever, is washed up, because I think most senior citizens, as they decide what they want to leave this world with, I think most of them want to leave their kids and their grandkids and their great grandkids the same kind of opportunities they had. They do not want to keep sucking up on financial, to ask the young working people of this country to pay more of their benefits. They are willing to tighten their belts just like everybody else is to make sure that Medicare is solvent, that Social Security is solvent, that this country gets their house in order so we can have a continuing great America with continuing opportunities.
