Dems concerned about entitlement debt
By Heidi Neel

Rob at "Say Anything Blog" reports that "democrats are worried about debt from entitlements like Medicare and Social Security." Check it out. Rob comments on a New York Sun article that cites new CBO numbers indicating that the debt is shrinking. Democratic response?

Democrats responded to yesterday’s good news on the budget by predicting that the red ink would start flooding again in future years as the bills for entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security come due.

It's good news that Congress shows concern for its fiscal irresponsibility!

U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker has said,

“We’re spending more money than we make…charging it to our nation’s credit card…and expecting our grandchildren to pay for it. And that’s immoral.”
