True, but Hilary's one nasty bee-otch, and things'll be twice as bad by 2008 when she mounts the podium....so it may fly.

I think the biggest macro catastrophe the boomer generation will face is the medicare spending bubble....there's a double exponential whammy there with the rising population of aged boomers and the steadily accelerating costs of incremental medical technologic gains. And you say we've just ADDED a medicare drug benefit?! aaaaccckk, CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE!

Cost projections are so absurdly low that it'll blow the economy right out of the sky (if something else doesn't wreck it before then).
