1. Could be.

I hope not.

2. Sadly, that may be true

Unless we get rid of Bush and Kerry has the guts to raise the cap on earnings subject to FICA, while making sure the overpayments stay OUT of the general fund.

Costs will have to be cut elsewhere, of course, and taxes will rise. How willing he is to hack the Pentagon back to a defensive military and how willing he is to tax his own class will be very telling.

The dirty secret in DC is that everybody knows there is no other solution. The dirtier secret is that they all hope to amass fortunes before this bill comes due.
