There's the key.
I don't care if the whore politicians give away the store as long as they do not raise taxes. Bush has already given working, traditional Americans a tax cut.
So, when this program eventually implodes (and every socialist government program eventually implodes) who will have the gall to raise taxes to keep it solvent? I mean besides legislators who represent the parasite nests (cities)?
All of the choices are bad, but I think the rationing will be a horror.
