You always miss the point, Kenneth... Let me enlighten you: However, this relative stability will change quite dramatically without fundamental reform of our nation’s entitlement programs. The latest long term projections of the Congressional Budget Office estimate that federal spending will soar to close to 40 percent of GDP over the next 30 years or so, primarily due to exploding costs for Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Factoring in costs for state and local government, the explosion of entitlement programs will bring total government spending in America to well over 50 percent. fiscalaccountability.org This is EXACTLY what Senator Gregg is talking about. And this situation will be exacerbated by the doubling or even quadrupling of debt proposed by Obama's Teleprompter. But I guess your concern for future generations disappeared when the Democrats took control. Diz- PS: You have apparently forgotten about Medicare and Medicaid. So when you make a statement like this: Why blame entitlements when those programs have been running surpluses? You really look like a petty, venal man.
