Small Business Boomers

Upon close scrutiny, you’ll find within the Obamacare proposals government parenting and grandparenting.  Home visits by government/state agents are indicated, whereby representatives will be able to “advise” those involved in children’s care on how to raise them.  This is under the guise of “health care.”
What we all wonder…are these simply suggestions?  Or will those raising children be required to follow the state’s agents’ advice.  Will this advice ignore parents and grandparents’ moral, ethical, and religious view in favor of state approved ones? Often these conclusions about childcare are made by people who don’t have children and have never raised them.

A recent TVLand poll predicts that 94% of Baby Boomers will be voting a week from today, with 82% of those polled stating that they are “extremely likely” to vote.  Since Baby Boomers are the largest generation, we could have a definite effect on the outcome of the election.  As you might have guessed, top issues for Baby Boomers are: the economy (81%), health care (65%), gas price (62%), Social Security and Medicare (58%) and taxes (57%).  But 76% …read more

I almost forgot – the other thing my CPA said both my husband and I need is a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. it must be “durable,” so it can continue if you can’t make decisions for yourself. And you also need a living will. And you may also want to get a financial power of attorney.
I had a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care for my mother before she passed away in 2006. I would get phone calls from Assisted Living every time they gave her an aspirin, but that’s …read more
