"By the way the author is seriously flawed into thinking that he can logically change America's Most Powerful Voting Block", from what has been and still continues to be the most powerful voting block - Americans 50 - 70/80+. A simple study of the demographics of the populace will shred that theory instantly."

That's definitely the biggest voting block for sure. The secret is getting away from demographics and into conservatism and Americanism. It's about energizing that base, regardless of voting block. We've got to run that candidate that expresses those ideas so effectively, and the votes will follow.

As the son of a boomer, knowing that I will be here in 30 years, when most of the 50-78/80+ demographic is gone, makes me work hard in changing the shift from liberalism to conservatism. In 30 years, I'll be part of that voting block. And in the end, we'll be the difference makers. We'll have to be. Or they'll be talking about our legacy the same way they talk about the boomers, whether it's deserved or not. So change my vote for a better, more Constitutional directed America. I have to live in it longer.

I understand your feelings completely. I am currently close to 59 and it was 30 years ago that I and many like me made the decision in our financial planning that SS and Medicare would not be around for us. So I do understand the angst you currently feel.

The plan, whatever it is, is going to have to be tailored to bring the majority of the boomers along. GW's idea of a graduated move towards the ultimate goal of privitization has merit and I am anxious to see what comes down the pike.

God Bless you all and God Bless America!
