Actually there are more important issues than whether he did or Kerry did or didn't. We do have a 7.5 trillion debt that is in danger of destroying the dollar without any additional spending. Medicare went up 17.5% last year. The 800 billion drug benefit package has not even started to kick in yet. Yet we hear a constant barrage of he said, I said, with no seeming realization that we are in the middle of a financial storm. Both canduidates seem to be living in a dream world with no realization that there are other problems. We are living on borrowed time with the winner of the election getting the honor of participating in the beginning of a financial upheaval. I don't expect either to bring up any plan to save the economy after the election.
zzzzzzzzz.....we heard about this under Reagan, as well. The economy is rebounding and the deficit will take care of itself like it always did. Just remember that Clinton's "surplus" was the result of citizens being overtaxed. The govt doesn't generate income, it only confiscates it.
I am afraid that I don't worry about the deficit in time of war. Especially, when you look at the percentage of the GDP. I don't know too many baby boomers who have ever counted on the "nannygate" social security to take care of us in our old age.
Just not worth worrying about something I have no control over.
You might want to ask Congress if they are so worried about the debt, why did they just grant themselves another raise for the sixth year in a row by slipping it into the Transportation Bill?
My advice to anyone is the same advice I gave to my son -- don't expect the government to take care of you -- you are responsible for yourself.
That's about 25,000 dollars per retiree per year. Source??
