We worry about our pension long term as well given our government is on attack mode for anyone that has been financially responsible and saved vs spent. We have illegal Haitians flooding our country each day because our government wants to put them on assistance, free health care, free college free housing, free food etc. to build up their party voting majority. They make these people feel right at home while our citizens must buy their food, health insurance and pay for college or trade school. So our government currently is looking for ways to steal our money to support those who have never contributed. Yes, they have gone mad with our wallet! USA has very low polling approval ratings for those in charge and hope they get voted out soonest…but the cards are stacked against the honest citizens. Wow!

Glad you were finally able to fill up. Makes you wonder about the future. In USA Biden has restricted all the pipelines so fuel is far more expensive now than a year ago. They are pushing hard for electric cars even when we have huge reserves of oil. <br />We also hit a 30 year high on inflation, again all caused by politicians moving the economy to benefit special interest. Most here find the US Federal Government the chief enemy of the folks who still pay taxes. Last year 61% of the households did not pay any taxes and received huge handouts. That leaves the 39% paying more than their fair share. We know we are at the point of no return on becoming a welfare socialist country as majority non taxpayers will continue to vote for those politicians that hand out money in exchange for votes. USA is on a firm downward spiral so very frustrating for many. On the bright side, we really like your flowers this week!!!<br />Glad you are feeling a lot better and take good care of yourself.
