Whew! Have a glass of wine would you--or may be you've already had a glass or two.

You're neither Republican or Democrat---you're a REvolutionary!

Well, there's much too what you say in terms of putting the money where its needed.

A tentative first step would to let the exemption for SSI withholdings above 106K per year expire. That one might be able to gotten thru.

Then a second tentative step would be means testing for the benefit, but it would probably take a civil war to get that one thru.

There is in terms of health care too much money being spent on the dying. Medicare will shortly have to come to terms with that. If you're over 80 we'll make you comfortable, but not extraordinary means etc.

All these issues will be confronting us shortly. Pass the wine please.
