WE REALLY CARE ABOUT CHILDREN?

The thread wasn't about Bush, junior. You tried to make it one by trying to blame spending of "profits" on him.

The thread is about the future sucking sound that Social Security and Medicare are going to have and the resulting damage to our "children". Try addressing that instead of trying to point blame at A politician or only one party. If anything all politicians are to blame so your attempt at singling out one rings hollow.

LOL at the "junior." I mostly get called an old man here. IIRC you're younger than me.

I never, ever said anything specifically about Bush spending the positive balance of SS. I was only pointing it out to make the observation that there's more to the "crisis" than fixing SS and Medicare. I am not persuaded that President Bush's fix is the only one, and most of the country agrees.

You haven't sincerely responded to anything I've asked, which I guess isn't surprising. I am happy to admit that congressional Democrats have tended toward fiscal irresponsibility over the years, but nowadays that's almost totally the purview of Republicans. The modern Republican party has turned the whole idea of fiscal responsibility on its head.

I don't believe I've ever stated my age here.

But yeah, I'm not going to address those issues more than I already have in broad terms way at the top, which was about the liberals and old people whining and the Conservatives not having the balls to do the right thing. This thread is not about Bush, it's about massive entitlements run amok and how people claim they are doing things for the "children" when they won't even correct things that will do massive damage to the "children".

My word of the day is sheeple. This makes I think 6 times. Woot! The sheeple don't want to wake up. Ever.

I believe very little that comes out of any politician's mouth or pen. A career politician is not trying to do anyone good except themselves and the seniors that vote for them.
