I don't understand his argument concerning health care and social security. The problem with social security has been escalating every year. I would assume a major reason for it is because the increase in average life expectancy. Social Security just needs to be re-evaluated by people that understand it. Politicians are not the people that understand the problem.
The same really applies to health care. No proposition has really attempted to tackle the current problems. I don't think you can really say Kerry or Bush had THE answer to health care problems. Not even a decent approach really. I also do not think anyone could really say the proposition by several democrats in '03 on health care were reasonable approaches. Again, politicans just are not going to solve the problems concerning the health care industry.
I just really do not understand why people treat these issues as though they derived from a particular president. Or why people think the president can solve these problems. To me, it's kind of like the unemployment rate. It's not even really related to the presidency, yet you always hear about how the unemployment rate is up or down with a particular president.
