re: Where we differ is that you like the socialistic nature of the current program and you like that it acts as an insurance program for seniors. That is where our common ground ends. I would prefer to see a system that is more market oriented and places more empowerment in the hands of individuals so that those individuals have the opportunity to earn an even better retirement through the use of modern financial principles. And that's a convenient way of avoiding the hard questions that I asked. Essentially, what are you going to do when seniors are starving? How are you going to pay for this scheme, that has the potential to send the entire government into a further deficit spiral? I hate you fiscal liberals. If we were still running the Clinton budget, I would say this thing might be possible, and would be a good thing. But we're not; our current accounts deficit is approaching third world status, and the time is coming to pay up. Wake up, you can't have war, tax cuts, pork galore, new drug entitlements, and then throw an extra $2Trillion onto the fire. Bush is the worst fiscal President ever, and this is just extending his winning streak. God dammit, am I the only one who get's this shit? Does everyone think the Federal credit card is the answer?
