I don't recall how often, me, the dear wife said, "At least Clinton kept you working, Dear." He was 45 at that time; thereafter, post working on Y2K, not so much though we made it through on retirement at age 62 SS instead of full retirement by virtue of the extension of unemployment under Democratic Gov Strickland -- thereafter, NADA. We had had a plan for our retirement; so did the GOP to obstruct everything Obama's except for the ACA, saved by the McCain Redemption vote!
