Thank you for your commentary, Pebbles.

I, too, have wondered why that cap is so low on paying into Social Security. It does seem like this would be an obvious place to start crunching some numbers and to begin working toward a solution to some of this mess. - some incremental increases in the cap, at least.

I know that there were things in "Sicko" that may have been a part of firing for effect, but I think it is well worth watching.

Those who say, "Oh, I have health insurance so I don't have to worry," need to pull their heads out of the sand or wherever they have them shoved and open their eyes and their minds.

As hard as I try to stay away from this topic, I have ended up writing about it in two separate threads here. Anybody who has read the stuff knows where I stand. I am angry.

I am not a fan of big government or of more taxes, but something has got to give. I don't know why we are not marching in the streets.
