"I think W is a much better man than Nixon."

Limbaugh's gone out of his way to stress that he does not think Bush is like Nixon as a person or with regards to foreign policy (on this, he compares Bush favorably with Reagan)...however, the seeming love for a domestic spending bonanza is a trait common to both Bush and Nixon!!

Glad to hear that - thanks for the information.

I'm not entirely thrilled with the COST of this bill, but then again, what we GOT in exchange for the price paid was a beachhead on the road to privatization.

Southack has explained that in a lot of detail, and the fact that Kennedy and other left-wingers blasted this bill big time is an indication that this bill is not as bad as some fear. Imperfect, yes. We paid a high price for the beachhead.

But I'd submit that as Medicare and Social Security eventually are privatized, this bill will be seen as the first step.

More like FDR or worse, LBJ.
