Golden Years - Gone

Will you be left out and unloved in your golden years? It is something to think about whether you are very young or just starting out. Such is the gateway of life that the boomers used to dream about when they were children. A time which they have now reached where they thought it would be about relaxing and taking it easy. This generation had faith in their creator because they endured the trials and tribulations of life and thought the promise of retirement would be kept by either social security or a company that they worked long hours for many years after the workday was finally over. Or, so they thought when they retired. They should have by now owned their own homes instead of facing homelessness and foreclosure. It should have been a time of peace, security, and serenity, or perhaps being able to tend to a little garden. Instead for these Viet Nam veterans and spouses, there is no freedom of enjoyment nor the comfort of their paid off home. The taxes and utilites are too high for the low income budget that they are left with to make ends meet. The promise was broken and these boomers never relied on entitlemtns because they always did what was right and paid their fair share. Oh the golden years for these boomers will never exist because they will never have the financial resources to sustain them. Their children that they took care of abandoned them when they needed them most. Most of these elderly people had to leave their home and the first time they had to be hospitalized, they are sent to a nursing home and placed on medicaid which is now the affordable healthcare tax. While in their nursing homes all their assets are depleted and they only receive $45.00 a month out of their social security checks that they paid into and were entitled to unlike welfare which they never received. This type of facility is exempt from their veterans aid and attendence and is not covered by long term care policies paid into their companies they worked for over 25 years. Or worse yet these Vietnam veterans of foreign war are left in a State Veterans home with no liberties whatsoever and everything goes to the state even their veterans pensions after all assets are sold off and they are never helped with aid and attendance that they should receive for assistance help. If they had company insurance all tests are given to them until the paid into insurance is depleted and then they are placed on medicaid. Their medicare and secondary insurance like AARP never kicks in even though they are entitled to this insurance. These boomers then belong to the state and are treated worse than if they were put in federal prisons. These boomers are the ones this new mandate was aimed at. The fourth branch depleted their paid into medicare and chose to pay into states' funded medicaid instead and presenting it like it is univeral care. It is only a disquise so that these growing numbers of 50 million plus boomers will never get their social security benefits nor veteran pensions and their lives will either be terminated in a hospital or in a nursing institution. They are abandoned by everyone such as their previous friends, neighbors and family. Dreamers put yourself in their shoes for a "change" and "hope" it never happens to you because eventually all those freebies will be stopped for legals and illegals alike. Interest rates will rise and your so called entitled apartment and utilities will be purchased by Asians and Brazilians with life long visas who purchase United States' real estate paid for in cash to the nursing homes. Then there will be little if any rent free apartments and if the utilities are paid later than ten days, then they will receive a shut-off notice and forced out by these new owners. The pathway to citizenship will lead to the same treatment that the boomers are now receiving. At least the boomers were a self-reliant and a resourseful generation who met their obligations and responsibilities. They never abandoned their creator nor thought of him as their equal. They were thankful and always grateful for even the little things i.e. a singing bird or a ray of sunshine peeping in their paid off home's window. Even though these memories will fade from all the drugs they will be given, at least their creator will always be with them.
