1. What percentage of yourself agrees with Republican Proposed Social Security Reform?
72% These days it’s safe to say that I am a RINO (Republican in Name Only) but it is true that in just 12 years the government will begin to pay out more in Social Security benefits than it collects in payroll taxes so while I may not agree with every aspect of GOP’s reform, it is something that needs to be revisited. I do think that personal accounts are a very progressive idea and would like to see it how it would work with a smaller group of people before the whole country gives it a try. Bottom line: The DEMS are going to get power back in '08 and this will all be as distant a memory as the Universal Healthcare of the early 90’s.
