I'm amused how the snarky, content-free comment critical of Bush gets upvoted, while this snarky yet entirely correct response is downvoted. I think some people here don't grasp the seriousness of the US government's financial situation, and how much it worsens the longer the recent status quo is maintained.

The Bush comment wasn't to criticize the president, just distinguish it from the Clinton-era proposal that said the same thing but didn't capture the public debate like the proposal in 2001-2002 did.
