Am I missing something? Why is not DTMFA Dan's first and only response?

tdalec commented on President Romney.

I'm not "furious". At some point, SS and Medicare are going to have to be means-tested and the eligibility ages will need to be raised. Might as well get started with that.

tdalec commented on Ashley Judd Is Not Running for Senate.

As a 50 year KY resident, and strong supporter of most of Judd's liberal positions, I can assure you that she stood no chance of beating Mitch. Outside of Louisville, Lexington and a small crescent on the river south of Cincinnati, KY voter's consistently vote against their own economic interests and for an evangelical/Ayn Randian agenda against women, civil liberties and the federal benefit programs that support most of them.

tdalec commented on The Looming 401K Disaster.

@6, my wife is a university professor with a defined contribution plan. I, also, had a defined contribution plan as a corporate drudge. Because we can both do math, we have always contributed the maximum allowable to those plans to get the maximum employer match. I am 65 and retired, she has 6 more years of work before retirement. Our current net worth, almost entirely in IRAs, is >$2M. The income from that plus our combined Social Security income of ~$50K will be comfortable.

Defined contribution works if people make the necessary contributions.

tdalec commented on Carbon Monoxide Detectors: What Do You Think?.

My CO detector plugs into an outlet and had battery back-up so I don't have to change then very often. NOTE! carbon monoxide is heavier than air so CO detectors should be located close to the floor. A CO detector on the ceiling or high on a wall is next to useless.
