"note that the only "unfunded liability" that actually DECREASED is Bush's Medicare Part D, which the Left (and you personally) have claimed doesn't work. The reality is that we can't afford it, but it works better than any of these other programs, at least it has thus far."

Only because a lot of seniors have found it actually CHEAPER to get the drugs they need from Walmart or any other discount drug store thanks TO WalMart!
