Since you're obviously a financial wizard, @SenJohnHoeven, maybe you can help me out. Say you're a baby boomer, five years or less from retirement age. You've got the usual IRA, a home that's paid off or close to it. Your plan was you'd have Social Security & Medicare 1/

your equity as a result of the inevitable housing crash--people will be dumping their houses as they scramble to come up with the cash to pay medical expenses. Do you keep paying the nursing home insurance? Thing is, without Medicaid, a lot of nursing homes in ND are going to /3

close. Also, if you do decide to sell your house now, where best to put $$ to protect it from the inevitable stock market and bank failures? Which brings us to IRAs--cash out now and take the hit or wait a few years after the market crash when there won't be anything there /4

I know the quick answer is, "Keep working," but I haven't met anyone who's lived forever. Odds are you'll either 1) drop dead on the job or 2) have to quit for health reasons. And then it's the same problems all over again. Looking forward to your reply---thanks /end

I work for a “private” grain company & this new bill is creating a PR nightmare for privates to write forward grain contracts w/ their customers. Intended or not, this is hurting privates tremendously. Farmers already asking 2 cancel grain sales made w/us. Needs to be fixed ASAP.
