The big money. while I think we do need earmark reform and have supported it. but the big money. as we know. are in entitlements: 53 percent of the budget. The Democrats were getting a lot of good credit for what I would say is kind of a golden oldies agenda. bringing out no original ideas. minimum wage. stem cell and student loans. And I understand those are safe things. But it is kind of like starting out the World Series by bunting instead of trying to get on base with real serious hits. The reason why I submit that criticism is there is nothing in your agenda about immigration reform. Social Security reform. Medicare reform. the heavylifting ideas of entitlement. and PAYGO completely ignores those as well.
