Ask JD - advice by the best for the hoi polloi

 JD - I've raised 4 kids and put them through college and at 56 am finally able to start saving for my retirement as my youngest graduated this year.  My oldest just had twins and I know your latest policy proposal says I should take care of my grand kids.  If I quit my job to do this, will the government step in and take care of my retirement?

 - Guilty Grandma

Dear Guilty - your signature says it all.  You need to stop being so unrepentantly selfish and follow my policies as dictated.  As for your retirement, only a lazy slacker would look to the government to bail them out.  Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and stop looking for a handout you shameless welfare queen.
