Well - if the retired and soon to be retired had any inkling that they wouldn't have what they were paying for, I'm pretty certain that most would have made other plans/arrangements too. Too late now to be worrying about we coulda/shulda done, as we didn't expect to be in this boat. However, I believe I did hear that any cuts wouldn't affect anyone already over the age of 55. I just feel sorry for my kids and grandkids.
