Anthony, it just wouldn't be BIG enough. What we need here is something REALLY BIG, a couple of thousand pages to get started, build on that. If were gonna get the job done we will need to massively increase the size of Government.

Now my main man, Obama, is going for it. It's gonna be glorious when he's done!

Our present workforce is well less than 50% of our population, if all were working. Right now, with high unemployment, its less than 40% of the total population. Even in the best of times, the workforce is down to about 45% of the total actual legal population of the US. AND it is shrinking. Do you really believe that 45 workers can support 55 non-working, non-taxpaying, citizens, in a manner better than the workers themselves enjoy? And when the workforce is down to 40 supporting 60? You actually believe that is possible and sustainable?

Democrats are lying to the public and shoving legislation down their throats that the majority do not want. Thus shootinhg themselves in the foot for the future election.
Republicans, leaderless, are shooting themselves in the foot in a wide variety of ways.

The winner of the 2010 elections may well be the party that runs out of ammo first!
