GUTLESS WONDERS

Linden has rarely made excuses for Congress: He believes that this body has always been comprised of individuals who have far greater regard and concern for their personal wellbeing as opposed to what may be best for the Nation. Today, he read an Associated Press piece in the Indianapolis Star (please do not consider this writing to be an endorsement of either of those) that further validates his belief.

President Bush, at least at one point, encouraged Congress to consider ways to make Social Security operate in a more responsible manner. Part of his recommended approach was to allow a portion of the monies paid into the system to be invested outside of the system. Seemed reasonable to many, but not to the majority of those in Congress or media. Is it any wonder that polls indicate he is less unpopular than those, as a group, in Congress?

In the above referenced article the lead paragraph, "The government is promising $45 trillion more than it can deliver on Social Security, Medicare and other benefit programs." Do you or your representative in Congress have any idea how much only one trillion dollars is? I didn't think so! Are those of you who voted for change in the form of this liberal democrat led Congress happy with your choice? The polls say NO!
