[Rhodes22-list] Bush Speech

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Rummy,
Right on the money, so they say!  I think the key factor in a retirement mode, if any can be, or wants to be really retired, is being able to adjust the budget output without great pain.  I don't like the investment losses either, but just plan to cope for the time.
