Is it too much to ask politicians to make tought decisions?

From Stanley Kurtz today:

AGING POPULATION
Here's a piece from USA Today called, "Who will take care of an older population?"

Funny how MSM didn't print stories like this while the social security debate was going on. In the eyes of history, the president's attempt to do something about the coming entitlement crisis will be seen as an act of immense courage and foresight. The shame will rest on his critics. The Democrats have doomed us to many years of inaction on this issue. Like the French and German left, they are forcing their countries to waste the critical years when something constructive could actually be done to avert the coming danger.
