Not to mention the billion dollars to Brazil for oil exploration.

Nettle is more of a nibbler:

Naah, I say he'll blame it on globull warming.

Of course Obama had an equally long brain freeze, and numerous shorter ones, and didn't get any media attention at all for it.

$25,000. That's pathetic. How many months will that last? Not more than 6 months here in CA. Wait until inflation hits that $25K savings hard, especially now that our economy has passed below the debt saturation transition line. Well, it's tough to save money as household purchasing power continues to decline, decade after decade. Even when women entered the workforce in huge numbers to help families compensate, household purchasing power continued to decline and it gets harder to save every year. And now with civilian employment ratios at 1970's levels with no end in sight, it's even harder to get household income up to savings-enabled levels.

The people that I know who have solid retirement outlooks fall into two groups:
1) Government workers, set for life with 80%+ salary levels and health care. The double-dippers are in great shape, taking luxury vacations to exotic locations.
2) Decent incomes combined with extreme frugality, everything they own comes from garage sales at 10 cents on the dollar, and vacations mean camping out.

From what I can tell, the 1%'ers that I am familiar with don't have two real nickels to rub together and I suspect that most will be working until 80, but they are usually workaholics and thrive on challenges and will always figure out how to make enough to live well.

The smart guys married school teachers. Best of both worlds.

The .01%'ers, of course, are set. But they are a fringe group.

If you're in the middle three quintiles and don't have a government job or a union pension, good luck trying to save money for retirement. It's hard damn work.

an unemployed loner who lives with his mother

ROTFLOL! Ain't that the way it works.

"He was a reader of al Qaeda's online magazine 'Inspire'

LOL! Which was written by... SNORT, sorry, my eyes are streaming... LOL, written by, get this... an unemployed loner who lives with his mother!!!!!!! BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Samir Kahn...who...HOHO...got nailed by a HE-HE-Hellfire missile.

Two worthless boymen who lived with their mothers and did evil things on mother's couch. Two frustrated boys who never had a girlfriend and took their frustrations out on others.
Two dummies who were caught because the FBI let them have their websites that made them feel like they were functional men. THere's gotta be a good comedy movie in this story. National Lampoon Does Jihad, or Harold and Kumar Build a Bomb.

"Until the so-called war on poverty, the poverty rate declined steadily. At the turn of the century, nearly 70 percent of Americans were poor, but by the time of the War on Poverty, the rate stood at approximately 13 percent. Then, after generations of declining poverty, the poverty rate more or less flattened out, and has remained so ever since. What happened? Welfare created dependency and decreased the incentive of the welfare recipient." Larry Elder

That aligns nicely with the Palestinian terrorist's concept of a 'work accident'.

That's crazy. Imagine trying to explain that to your insurance company.
