Wonderful for you, but not so wonderful for those younger people who will be shocked at their tax rates thanks to Medicare and Social Security.
Americans love government to do things for them, but they hate paying taxes. So the people and the government have solved this problem by spending the money of people who aren't old enough to vote.
Name one party that can help us fix that which are not filled with radical nut jobs. I'll give you one hint. It is not the LP. Personally, I don't think one truly exists for the time being.
I think the nutjobs are those who will make that problem even worse. I mean, how sane could you be to ignore that problem? Or make it worse?
As I said, I don't think one truly exists atm so I guess that makes us all nut jobs. Remember, fixing that problem is one thing. Fixing it in such a way that both maintains itself and does not make the lives of too many people even more miserable in the process is something completely different.
I do believe that Obama can influence the country to start heading down the right path though. We'll see.
