You undermine your own credibility here. You dont turn a ship around instanteously. Similarly you cant just eliminate all these programs that you dont want.
First of all you are never going to eliminate programs into which people have been forced to pay into their entire lives and are now totally dependent on to live. You are "pissing in the wind" if you think Social Security or Medicare are going to disapear. The best we can hope for are reforms like Bush is calling for that give more control over their SS retirement funds in the future. This requires more spending now during the transition.
Bringing about major change is not done by electing a one or two member majorities. It is much easier to prevent change than it is to cause it. At least sixty votes are needed to accomplish the least controversial of measures. To make massive chnages like Baldwin seems to expect would require overwhelming majorities (say 80%) for the conservative party. To get all over Bush for not being able to bring this all about in one year when we dont control the Senate and barely control the house is just plain stupid. I hope some year you and those like you grow up and live in the real world, not some think tank ivory tower.
