So, what is the alternative to funding Social Security and Medicare?? Ignoring it like past presidents and congresses have done?  And how about using some or all of the money we are pouring down a rathole called Iraq to improve America?  For what Bush has spent (in fairness, much of it has gone to Halliburton and not to Iraqis), we could fix all of roads and bridges and provide universal health insurance.  The implication is that Obama will spend money.  That is what Bush has been doing for 8 years, with no positive results (except, again, for Halliburton and big oil!)  Maybe we should spend some money on Americans for a change!!??
