It's time to start electing independents or the gov should put none on the above on the ballot and leave the office vacant when none of the above gets the majority vote. Either way we would be much better off.

 

spell-check

clearly you have to be corrupt or you have no chance to get elected they way things are now.

 

Sometimes it is prudent to resolve one big problem before you take on other big problems. Trying to do too much at one time can often mean that both initiatives will fail. I haven't seen anything that makes me confident that the government can manage social programs with any degree of effectiveness. That isn't a republican or democratic observation, just what I see. Are all things peaches and cream? Not hardly, but that doesn't mean we need to make the situation worse. Seems that I recall a tale as a child about killing the goose that laid the golden egg.....


Trustees Report Summary
A MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC:

Each year the Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds report on the current and projected financial status of the two programs. This message summarizes our 2009 Annual Reports.
The financial condition of the Social Security and Medicare programs remains challenging. Projected long run program costs are not sustainable under current program parameters. Social Security's annual surpluses of tax income over expenditures are expected to fall sharply this year and to stay about constant in 2010 because of the economic recession, and to rise only briefly before declining and turning to cash flow deficits beginning in 2016 that grow as the baby boom generation retires. The deficits will be made up by redeeming trust fund assets until reserves are exhausted in 2037, at which point tax income would be sufficient to pay about three fourths of scheduled benefits through 2083. Medicare's financial status is much worse. As was true in 2008, Medicare's Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund is expected to pay out more in hospital benefits and other expenditures this year than it receives in taxes and other dedicated revenues. The difference will be made up by redeeming trust fund assets. Growing annual deficits are projected to exhaust HI reserves in 2017, after which the percentage of scheduled benefits payable from tax income would decline from 81 percent in 2017 to about 50 percent in 2035 and 30 percent in 2080. In addition, the Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) Trust Fund that pays for physician services and the prescription drug benefit will continue to require general revenue financing and charges on beneficiaries that grow substantially faster than the economy and beneficiary incomes over time.
The drawdown of Social Security and HI Trust Fund reserves and the general revenue transfers into SMI will result in mounting pressure on the Federal budget. In fact, pressure is already evident. For the third consecutive year, a "Medicare funding warning" is being triggered, signaling that non-dedicated sources of revenues—primarily general revenues—will soon account for more than 45 percent of Medicare's outlays. A Presidential proposal will be needed in response to the latest warning.
The financial challenges facing Social Security and especially Medicare need to be addressed soon. If action is taken sooner rather than later, more options will be available, with more time to phase in changes and for those affected to plan for changes.

 

Does this mean that while the Republicans held the White House the Dems should have rubber stamped everything? They had been rejected, so they should have blindly approved all initiatives? We could have know if those policies would have really worked if not fettered by the opposition?
