It appears the dimmies are playing politics again.



New warnings about entitlements shortfall
Medicare unable to pay full benefits by 2019, Social Security by 2041

WASHINGTON - Trustees for the government's two biggest benefit programs
warned Tuesday that Social Security and Medicare are facing "enormous
challenges," with the threat to Medicare's solvency far more severe.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, one of the trustees, warned that the
country was facing a fiscal train wreck unless something is done.

"Without change, rising costs will drive government spending to
unprecedented levels, consume nearly all projected federal revenues and
threaten America's future prosperity," Paulson said in releasing the new
report. "Our nation needs a bipartisan effort to strengthen both
programs for future retirees."

President Bush, who wanted to make overhauling Social Security his top
domestic priority in his second term, tapped Paulson to lead that
effort. However, Paulson has been unable to forge a consensus with
Democrats, who took control of Congress in 2006.

There is more to the story, if you had clicked the link. BTW, what do

That replaces almost all the vegetables I buy in the supermarket between
April and October. And, I forgot: 3-4 kinds of peppers. Sounds like a cash
crop to me.

Nothing in the list is a "cover crop". What did you mean to actually say?

How do you deal with the bunnies, the four legged ones?

Cover crop is used to cover something you grow that you don't want
others to know about.
