what is equally troubling and if not more so is that the gentleman is talking about the prime retirement years of the baby boom generation. We all know we have an aging population in this country and that is when that demographic time bomb is about to go off. Unless or until this Congress, working with the administration, can turn this fiscal scenario around, it will be virtually impossible for our children and grandchildren to meet the burdens that are piling up on them today because of the demographics in this country. That is why it is important that we have this discussion tonight so hopefully we can bring some fiscal sanity back into the economic decision of this body before it is too late.
