The medicare bill is against the tenants of privatization. Congress is the one who can do something about the goverment. Bush can propose to them, but he can't do it himself. Didn't the GOP at a time want to get rid of the Dept. of Education? Whatever happened to that platform. Government is getting bigger every year, not only with size, but people's opinions of what government should be providing them are increasing. With that state of mind, their representatives would dare not go against their wishes.

You really think its that simple getting rid of the department of education. Look at what Newt did in 1994 and how he was demonized and basically run out of congress. He read the reagan revolution into congress but was ultimately hounded out and still the boogyman for the Dims...
We are meek and humble when it comes to voicing our opinions because we are labeled as child starvers, senior killers, fundamental preacher follower nuts (quote from Dean) and the list goes on and on... Being the president is all about compromising and it takes time to change things especially when you have the media which is the voice of the democratic party firmly aligned against us. Thank god for talk radio and the Internet which is slowly paving the way for conservatives to have a voice in the forum of public opinion and start swaying independents and independent thinking democrats to our side.. but it is going to take time....
