“They are going to reform the program for people in their twenties because we have to.”

When will that be? I have been hearing that from the GOP candidates since the early 80s, lol. What happened between the years 2001-2006 when Repubs had more control of government? Expansion of entitlements, lol.

Face it, the population/electorate love the government taking care of them. Even in the private sector people want their loses subsidized. A fundamental change needs to take place first among the electorate before any political stooge will act.

September 11, 2001 happened. And 'feel good' prescriptions were part of the therapy for restoration of 'confidence' and our economy. Mistakes made? For certain; but the actual decline began 2007; when the Dems took total control of Congress; and the death per 'stranglehold' on America began in earnest.
