Your turn now. How do we solve this deficit and debt?

Reform health care, bring more of it under gvt control, reduce spending, particularly military spending, and raise taxes progressively for everyone when the economic downturn is behind us...no other way to close the gap.

Al, Social Security reform died because people like you accused Bush of trying to kill Social Security itself. It's that simple.

Oh, forgot to respond to this gem...can you explain why he tried to reform a SS program that's not in so much trouble and then proceeded to put in place another entitlement program without any funding, for people you think should be cut from medicare and who can pay their own way?

" Social Security reform died because people like you accused Bush of trying to kill Social Security itself."

Think about it Ten. What if Bush HAD succeeded? Right before the Bush Great Depression? The DJIA today is lower than where Clinton left it, nine years ago. Anyone dumb enough to hang with an index fund ( you know, the "safe", conservative vehicles ) would have LOST money over the decade.
