54. I've spoken to three people, age 65 and over, in the last week who are supporting their kids.

They all say the same thing:

"I can leave it to them when I die, or I can help them now, when they need it."

I'm reminded of Dick Cheney's enthusiastic acknowledgment of how "People are selling a lot of stuff on eBay".

One thing's for sure...the days of having a well-paying job, commensurate with your skills and experience...one that allows you to support your family and live the American Dream of owning a home...

...these are the days that we need to re-claim after two terms of Bush-Cheney.
