    Default Hillary Clinton?

    I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on how Hillary Clinton, Democratic Presidential nominiee, would be in regards to the Thrift Savings Plan. In my view the Republican's have been good for us since they raised the amount of contributions we could put in. Do you think Hillary Clinton, if elected, would repeal this and go back to the 10 percent max contribution level?

    I don't see her changing contribution levels, as a matter of fact I don't see her as the President for that matter!

    I think it would be difficult for any professional liar, I mean politician to lower what a individual may contributions to their retirement and bang the Social Security drum at the same time.

    Normally, I would agree. But now I find myself in the odd position of viewing her as more pragmatic than many of the other candidates. Even her husband seems conservative given the comparisons (on both sides).

    This next presidential election will be truly depressing for me.

    This election my vote is going to be on the person who is most likely to listen to people around them instead of the one who can do their best long term mule impression.

    I can't say I liked Bill Clinton either. The one thing I really liked that he did is FFLA. (Family Friendly Leave act) It made honest employees out of all of us.

    I liked Fred Thompson until I heard him speak on the tube one night. To paraphrase he said" And get rid of this uncontrollable, costly Government Civil Service and replace it with one that etc., etc. Don't like the S$B now!
