Unfortunately, without real tax code reform, (not just rehtorical 10-years down the line miniscule tax cut promises), massive reduction in in government spending, and an iron-clad replacement for the ponzi-scheme that is Social Security, the American Dream will become a fond memory from the prior generations.

It will be impossible for government to reduce spending. They have gone beyond the point of no return. Politicians are in business of having the taxpayer pay for their vote buying promises. There is no free lunch.
