Fine, where's your introduced bills to accomplish your favorite crisis. I haven't seen much coming out of Congress myself.

I see tax reform to be better characterized and backed up by long standing and introduced solutions in the form of legislation to meet perceived issues myself.

But then there is no reason one may not chew gum and walk at the same time and deal with both since in manyways the both have common roots in the problems of how government and its programs are financed.

Today's Washington Times:

Social Security on back burner

Some Republican lawmakers say President Bush should ease up on his calls for Social Security reform and focus on other topics this election year, depriving Democrats of the opportunity to claim that the administration wants to "privatize" the program.

But Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican, said Democrats would have tried to use the issue this year anyway, and he appreciates Mr. Bush's continual calls for reform. "I don't think it's a mistake," he said. "He's trying to do something constructive, and [Democrats] are just trying to obstruct."

Apparently DeMint is still on target and we'd do well to encoruage his support of Bush's entitlement reform. IMHO if we throw up our hands in helpless complaining then we're just helping the Democrats.
