Social Security Reforms and Outrage!

It's hard to take seriously anything that is said during State of Union Addresses. After all it wasn't that long ago that President Clinton proclaimed that "....The era of big government is over." No one believed it when it was said, it was even viewed as silliness. Again last evening the Democratic side of the aisle attempted to be silly when they stood and cheered that no progress was made on Social Security reform. This moment was lost on me! In fact it's absolutely insulting to think that our representatives would take such a serious issue, one could even say crisis, so lightly. It's one thing not to agree with the President's reform proposals, it's another stop debate because your party is lacking the talent to come up with alternative solutions! The President deserves credit for keeping this issue at the forefront and was 100 % correct last night when he said that the problem was not going to go away.
