I didn't read the whole article because I started to boil after reading what was posted on the thread. Plus, I can't help but be reminded of the dead socialist economist PAUL Samuelson whenever I see this author's name. Anyway, thanks for your kind reply and the additional info.

No problem, LH! You're right: Paul Samuelson was a dreadful economist. That's why I always specify that this is the "good Samuelson." I heard Rush criticizing this Samuelson and this article but I couldn't stick around for where he thinks Samuelson was really off the mark. I really do agree that I think Bush should have been given much more credit for taking on this issue early in his Administration and offering up a true reform fix. Unfortunately, the lamestream media didn't give him any credit or support at the time, the Dems in Congress refused to even offer to discuss it, and the weak RINOs in Congress ran for the hills as they are wont to do.
