The Dish

FISCAL SANITY?

I’m having trouble believing this president on that particular issue. 2009? I thought the goal was 2008. And why not balance the budget? You know: like Clinton did.

BOOMERS ONLY? A weird generational emphasis:

Our generation has been blessed – by the expansion of opportunity, by advances in medicine, and by the security purchased by our parents’ sacrifice. Now, as we see a little gray in the mirror – or a lot of gray – and we > watch our children moving into adulthood, we ask the question: What will be the state of their union?

As a post-boomer, and someone quite unimpressed with the boomer generation, have I just been excluded by the president? I thought he was pitching the social security reform to the younger folk?

Generally speaking: pedestrian start.
