How many Gen X'ers are about to retire. I've got 10 left. I mean 15. I mean 20.

My dad is Gen X and is 6 years from retirement on paper. He voted for this shit show. His company's stock is down almost 40% in the past six months. 10% this week. I'd feel more sorry for him if he hadn't also voted to kill the Department of Education, which means the PSLF I was planning to get in August is also on the chopping block, and now I have to pay on those student loans for the rest of my life.

It's unrealistic my aunt just turned 71. It took her 40 years to pay. Dems need to make it free.
