Poll question: POLL: The Bush Baby Boomer Cafe is open!!!!

What'll it be? Unfortunately, your "Personal Retirement Account" went bust in the great Depression of 2014 during the second term of the Jeb Bush/DR. Rice administration. Too bad, so sad, sucks to be you.

We're running a special for you folks that Smirk called "younger workers" age 49-54 in 2005; since you only had about a decade or so to let your stock market accounts come to fruition and your SSI checks were cut by 45%, we are offering a 10% off special today only. Name your poison!

5. Now aren't you exaggerating just a little?
I mean do you really believe seniors will be able to afford BRAND NAMES? You know it's gonna be the cheap generic store brands.:9

6. Good point!
On the other hand, we may all be in Liberal Camps, er, Retirement communities so if we all pitch in we might score the good stuff!

12. You'll have to be satisfied with whatever dandelions you can
harvest from your yard. Or perhaps, think Yuell Gibbons. You know... the guy that guy who used to do the Grape Nuts commercial that started with the line, "Did you ever eat a pine cone? Some parts ARE edible you know."

Pinecones a la king. Only we won't have milk or butter rations but you can imagine how it would have tasted.

Down, out and old
Homeless seniors get tips on how to survive golden years on S.F.'s streets

Homeless Senior Survival School, a program

to San Francisco, is in its third year. The student body has grown from 20 seniors the first year to about 40 in the latest graduating class, Ilagan said.

Students get free pastries, coffee and lunches and learn how to use city and nonprofit services to get back on their feet -- or stay on their feet.

Not all the seniors are homeless. Some fear they are right on the edge.
