- Those who criticize the President and his Republican followers in Congress are quite justified in doing so, but don%u2019t pretend the Democrats are any better. I don%u2019t remember them opposing this expansion of the Medicare program. Now they have both houses of congress and rather than confront this issue, they waste time on non-binding resolutions. There may others, but the only congressman I know of who has been consistently opposed to this bankruptcy of our nation is Republican Congressman and presidential contender, Ron Paul.

- Mr. Walker, Medicare isn't the problem. The Iraq war is the problem.

- So many ailments are lifestyle ailments, ie overweight, high cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. We should bring back gym class in the schools, and recess, so kids get in the habit of more exercise. Also home economics, so kids know how to cook nutritious meals. Instead we pile on test preparation...

- David Walker has been repeatedly saying that the government needed to increase revenue and decrease expenses to avoid bankruptcy since before Bush took office.
So, what did Repubs do once they gained control? Raised expexnses and decreased revenue.
The US is going to become a third world nation if Americans do not wake up and demand taxes be sharply increased while curbing expenses & tax breaks for people who do not need them, such as Bill Gates & Warren Buffett, and big oil (et al big corp's).
The US is going to need a "foundation" to pay our bills in the next 20 years unless we can legalize enough immigrants to make up the shortfall. - Reply to this comment
- If the Republicans need $50,000,000,000,000.00 for Iraq, no problem with the economy. If they need to keep up care for the sick and elderly, that will ruin the Country. There are no words for my disgust at these vile Reptillians crawling around in Washington.

- Never is there any mention of the fact that no solution exists because the politicians have "a different" medical and retirement that is NOT Medicare or Social Security. Let's make EVERYONE on the same plane and then you'll see action!
With their future on the line they'll have a lot more at stake. - Reply to this comment
- Are we setting a good example for future generations?
I'll continue praying for those who voted for the problems we are facing today. All I can say is, "It's not my fault."
Honest and hard working Americans are being worked over by the same corporate forces that are giving it to the rest of the world. Are we having fun yet?

- And the Bushies want to cut taxes more! The rich need to pay their fair share.

- Let's see...if we cancel all the wars (since we started them it shouldn't be that hard), if we cancel all the entitlements that no one is entitled to, and if we let people have more control and responsibility over their lives, particularly in the financial aspect, then we might survive this. But who am my kidding? The U.S. government has become a giant "Pyramid Scheme" and when it collapses there will be a few big winners and a lot of big losers...
