What kills me is that Grassley is in his early 60’s. I get on my 63 year old dad’s case about not learning to send text messages, but Christ in heaven the man is computer and internet literate and has uses an ATM on a regular basis. He’s old and rich too; I don’t buy that that’s the reason they’re financially illiterate. They just sound plain stupid to me.
