Remember the 2000 election, Saws... Al Gore pointed out that the Trust Fund isn't as trusty as we thought and thought it would have been a good idea to put a lock on it... Lotta folks wished we'd done exactly that 'cause Bush & Co. borrowed money where ever they found it in order to try (unsucessfully I might add) fund the hefty tax cuts which went primarially to the folks who really don't ned more money...

But here's an idea: How about the Repubs offerin' to at least be receptive to the idea of funding entitlements rather than saying that the onl;y solution is on the expense side??? Duhhhh??? I mean, I haven't heard too many Dems say that adjustments in the entitlements are off the table... Like how are we going to fix anything if one side stonewalls and just says "NO" to anything except what they want... Where is the compromise???
