There isn't one, and Reuters never elaborates on what it means by "improvement." I have NO idea what they are talking about, because every study I have seen shows Medicade and Social Security becoming insolvent faster than was projected.
Again, my only explanation for this ludicrous reporting is spin, and an attempt to protect massive social program entitlements. That's why they threw veteran's programs under the bus in the article.
So, let me get this straight: this nation can't take care of its vets who served during wartime, but we had $40 Billion to giveaway in a single afternoon to the teacher's union last August with Peloisi's force vote during a time when Congress was not even in session?
OK - I think I got it now.
