Pennsylvania Senate Race
To watch the debate on Meet the Press with Tim Russert, between Senator Santorum and the Democrat challenger Bob Casey go here.
It is perplexing to me, if you watch the MSNBC video of the debate, and you are intellectually honest and honestly think through the responses given by each candidate, how Casey can be ahead in this race. Come on people, wake up. I know Santorum has made up ground, but polls still show him behind in the race. Casey is not up to the task.
This nugget from National Review Online:
Casey and Santorum mix it up
Bob Casey Jr., the Pennsylvania state treasurer who is seeking to oust Republican Sen. Rick Santorum, said in a debate yesterday that there is no "crisis" facing Social Security, which most economists agree is headed for collapse unless major changes are...Full story

Casey Talks Tough on the State Pay Raise, But The Press Has Said Otherwise, Including A Call For His Resignation Because Of His Role In It:Related story from the Washington Times:
Tribune Review: "The only honorable thing to do is for Casey to resign and end his quest for higher office." "Bobby Casey just cooked his own political goose...the commonwealth's highest-ranking fiscal officer, Treasurer Robert P. Casey Jr., has admitted to participating in a scheme that even he considers to have been illegal, in clear violation of the Pennsylvania Constitution and his oath of office... The only honorable thing to do is for Casey to resign and end his quest for higher office." (Editorial, "The treasurer's admission: Resign, Mr. Casey," Pittsburgh Tribune Review, March 9, 2006)

The Social Security crisis will not emerge until Democrats control the congress and are in a position to 'solve' it, not by reform but by perpetuation. Just as for any other Ponzi scheme, the trick is to expand the base of the pyramid, if not in numbers then in contributions. The pain thus suffered will be blamed on preceeding Republican administrations for having not 'solved' the problem before it became a crisis.
But take heart, the issue of 'homelessness' will then disappear, at least from the attention of the MSM.

No doubt the Dems will "solve" the problem when they get back into power by, as you said, 'increasing the base' (as in opening the flood gates to illegal aliens) and by increasing SS tax rates.
And as they always do, they will champion themselves as the great providers and blast the Repubs for the [inherent] problem of this pyramid scheme.
I could not agree with you more, Anotmo.
