Good reasons there why an entitlement benefits review will be coming.

Also good reason why politicians need to shift to a central theme--jobs, jobs, and more jobs. It is more in the states that this debate is taking place.

Ohio and NC are two examples of that as they made structural changes to their budgets and have job attraction programs. Ohio's Governor also accepted the Federal deal for the expansion of Medicaid health insurance while NC did not.

Obama is attempting to change the focus to this (jobs) with his recent speeches, but Republicans seemingly don't get it yet.

This guy is a crazy. I can understand why he is the darling of the Tea Party, but for Texans to have elected him as their senator is what beats me. His father is a rambling immigrant. Bet he has no professional skills and came here as a refugee. It is immigrants like these who give other immigrants a bad name.

Remove the cap on social security and it is good for 75 years. That is plenty of time to figure out the next step.

By then computers will be running the world-:).
