Did I say everyone will be afford it? I said more people will be able to afford it (insurance). Your 2 statements show that you prefer to operate on emotional level rather than rational, logical level. Not to worry, you are in majority. Or is it ideology rather than emotions? I am not sure now.

Yeah...I was the one who injected the FDR blaming into the discussion...look, you can sit and wait for the freight train to hit, make it better, or do nothing. It seems to me that bush is doing none of the above. He is making it MUCH WORSE. His tax cuts, regardless of who they are targeted towards, make for political windfall with uninformed people happy to pocket a few bucks, but make the impending disaster a far more severe certainty. Now you can look 60 years back and say what you want about past leaders and even accentuate your points with disdain for their political affiliations, or even accuse me of doing so, and at the end of the day you accomplish nothing.

George Bushs' fiscal policies are reckless. That's the bottom line. In his SOU address he will drive the point that the tax cuts need to be made permanent, that younger folks should be allowed to put some of their SS contribution into personal savings accounts, further embittering the funding deficits we are facing in little more than a decade. What does he care? Some other president and the American people will inherit the consequences of his recklesness.

If you asked me, my answer would be: for your $100,000, definitely. For my $100,000, I would rather give it to my kids.

We are generalizing quite heavily here of course, but on that statement alone you should be furious at what Bush is doing...he is exactly taking it away from your kids.
