Looming problems that are coming to America

For those of you that are paying attention, the current financial crisis in Greece bears a grim resemblance to scenes that may be coming to a street near you in America. If we don't soon realize that the current policies that we are following are leading us down the path of financial ruin you may see those scenes sooner rather than latter.

The only thing that is going to fix this problem is for "us" you and me the citizens working to insists that those that hold the purse strings at the local, state and federal level bring us back to some semblance of sanity with our money.

The government can't keep on promising government workers salaries for life, in the form of pensions, after twenty or thirty years of work and we are going to have to start planning for our retirement when we are young in some other method than simply paying social security tax and expecting that to supply our total retirement compensation. If that is what we want to do we are going to have a radical downward adjustment in how we plan to spend our retirement years.

Which ever path we choose to go we need to start thinking about it and having a real and open conversation about the choices and we need to do it now.
