The interesting edge case is that people like my dad -- who did sheetrock for a living -- would never ever have been able to make it to age 70 to retire. He knew the odds were slim that he'd make it to 67. He passed away in 2004 at age

the media has constantly been repeating that the housing market was key to recovery and that the government had to do things to help prop up house prices. It is interesting how many people are misinformed about this. The government hasn'

The most unfortunate thing about this whole situation is that it was poor Chad himself who ended up discovering and shutting down the fraudsters. This should not have been the case, and I apologize on behalf of my former employer. I since
