So far, the only plan to solve the issues facing this country that the dems/leftists have put forth, is to say no to any proposals presented byt the Bush adminstration and the republicans. While 'no' may look good in the near term, even with the help of their allies in the old media, the dem/leftists will eventually be defeated at the polls.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) responded by isolating themselves into the position of advocating only tax increases as a means of keeping Social Security solvent. "Democrats stand ready to strengthen Social Security on a bipartisan basis," they said, "so that all Americans receive the guaranteed benefits they have earned." If they mean to cut no one's benefits, the only way to keep the system solvent is%2
