    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Here are the headlines on AARP'S web site:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;(1) 5 REASONS NOT TO TOUCH YOUR 401-K WHEN THE STOCK MARKET PLUNGES&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;AARP should be taking a position regarding the singular cause of the plunge of the stock market. The market has been sent into a tailspin artificially. A downturn of 25% has affected every member of AARP but not one word have I seen from AARP regarding its cause and AARP'S position on its cause.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;(2) 10 PRODUCTS THAT MAY GET MORE EXPENSIVE DUE TO TARIFFS&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Again, rather than state the obvious, AARP needs to take a position regarding the tariffs. There aren't 10 products that will be affected. T&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;here are hundreds of products that&amp;nbsp; have had an artificially increased price. As to causation, once again, all you hear are crickets from AARP. Tariffs affect all its members.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;(3) FIRED AFTER 50. STEPS FEDERAL WORKERS SHOULD TAKE NOW&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Finally, yet a third headline that skirts a responsibility to its' members. It gives advise after the fact rather than taking a position regarding artificially generated loss of employment for so many Federal workers, many of whom are AARP members. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;AARP has lost its way.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
