Musing On the State of the Union Address

Summary


I find it amusing (and a bit sad) that during the State of the Union address, when President Bush hit upon the notion that the citizens of America should own their Social Security accounts outside the reach of Congress, Republicans stood in applause, while Democrats appeared to sit with their arms crossed, as if the money being withheld were theirs, and not the citizens', to spend. ("Bush hints Social Security cuts," Page 1, Thursday). In all references to items like Social Security and income taxes, the Democrats seemed to be unwilling to trust Americans with their own hard-earned dollars. I wonder why Democrats seem to think spending our money against our will, and not returning it when it clearly is being wasted and not providing us the services that we contracted to the federal government, is somehow noble and right.
