the fates that await everyone younger than Bill and I when they retire

John, you are forgetting who does most of the voting in this country. The boomers are in no shape to retire without Social Security and Medicare, and when they start retiring, the over-65 voter block will be that much stronger. The sunset provisions of the Bush tax cuts will actually take effect as planned, and probably a lot sooner, IMO. Heck, almost all of the Democratic candidates are already talking about rolling back the tax cuts, and it doesn't seem to hurt their poll numbers -- already the faceless Democratic opponent is running neck and neck with Bush.
