Quote 2: from Robert Samuelson, in the Washington Post


The title:  The Flight from Reality

The quote:

"If we do not trim Social Security and Medicare spending — by slowly raising eligibility ages, cutting benefits and increasing premiums for wealthier recipients — we face savage cuts in other government programs, much higher taxes, bigger deficits or all three."

Will our next President (and our next Speaker of the House) have the courage to do what needs to be done?
