>>You know they will let them "borrow" the bucks<<

Yup, I'm afraid so. Plus the down-and-out types will want to withdraw whatever they can get and drink it. Then they'll be broke and looking for charity. Right now some of these folks get put into a kind of housing/support program where their monthly SS check is signed over. That would get disrupted if they've burned the money. Congress needs to think this thru.

>>I can see a flat tax starting at a fairly high base<<

I'd love to see some kind of tax simplification. My fear is that Congress would then spend the next 30 years clogging it up again.

>>Tort reform is a done deal<<

Easy to do and badly needed. I get real tired of hearing about these joker lawsuits.
