re: Brooks is making waves out of a few ripples. I agree with regard to SS. Medicare is a different and more complex issue, and that's why nobody is talking about it. It's a serious problem on both rising cost per transaction and the rising number of transactions as the boomers retire. SS is easy, Medicare is tough. I agree with the second wave... our politicians (and a percentage of the public) are increasingly polarized. I don't see many in Washington that is solutions oriented, they are all partisan/ideology oriented. When pragmatism gives way to ideology we always get in trouble. I also think there is a third wave; out budget and current accounts deficit limit our options. At present levels they are extremely dangerous, we just can't risk current or higher debt. The folks that think we are omnipotent, that we can spend on foreign wars and pork at home, and still have a safety net for our citizens are in for a rude awakening. John
