| | I have to agree with Glenn Beck here. He was like a pot of tepid water, slowly heating up. Eight years ago, I naively considered it possible that Social Security would be gone, or at least, optional (after all, this is a "free country," right?), or at least scaled back. Instead, we got the Medicare Prescription drug plan...isn't that like me demanding that Cigna, to which I no longer pay premimus, pay for my prescriptions? And why couldn't he use the bully pulpit to expose the insanity of Barney Frank instead of actively promoting the "ownership" society?
Then, the pasty resistance (or pièce de résistance, but I hate to use French phraseology), was the bailouts.
When are we going to get a President that realizes that any bill that crosses his desk has to be damn good to warrant a signature? I should think that in the best of circumstances, a 10 percent signature rate would be a lofty limit. If any bill has any possibililty to infringe liberty of a single citizen, it deserves a veto. I wish even Reagan could have done that.
