My only focus after I start the putter away from the ball is keeping the back of my left wrist as fat as possible from start to finish.

It's critical - that the people that are benefiting today from Medicare and Social Security that they not see benefit reductions. It's awfully hard to tell someone who might be 82, that they've gotta go back to work, because their benefits are gonna be chopped. That's not gonna happen.
