Give Us a Plan for a Financially-Secure America!
Target: 2008 Presidential Candidates
Sponsored by: Divided We Fail
Sponsored by: Divided We Fail
It used to be that if you worked hard, raised your family and played by the rules, you'd be OK. But that's no longer true. Today, the burden of saving for retirement, paying for health care and supporting aging parents falls much more heavily on individuals.
For many people, the American dream is eroding. The presidential candidates have said too little about the long-term financial security crisis Americans face every day. Over the next couple weeks, the presidential candidates will do their best to reach voters in the final key primaries. Now, during this critical period for both sides, it is time to demand that leaders develop a real plan of action.

Alongside of the faltering economy the sad state of our healthcare system needs to be addressed. Universial Health Care must be established.

There seems to be a widening gap between the rich and poor, due mainly, it would seem, to irresponsibility, which is evident in the entitlement and someone-else-will take-care-of-me mentality. Many don't save but go deeply into debt to have it all now rather than exercising prudence and restraint. This attitude is fostered by government entitlements and largesse rather than rewarding hard work, saving, and initiative in policies.

My long term and current financial situation is critally low. Last year I had a baby who has a two very rare disorders. Only 2 other children in the country with it, mosaic down syndrome and triple x syndrome. I had to quit my job to get my daughter the medical attention she needs and to help her in the other areas she needs help in. I get know help what so ever from the governament as far as ssi because they do not know anything about this two disorgers together. I have had to drain my 401k plan to survive living. So my any more I had for the furture is gone!!!! I hope you have a plan because mine gotten eaten up in GAS and MEDICAL BILLS!

I have 2 young children and am concerned about long-term financial security. Such as,how are we going to pay for their college? Are we going to be able to retire comfortably? Are they going to be able to afford healthcare? Are we?
