seniors when the Republicans weren't? For shame. We seniors will not benefit from future improvements in the economy. Nor will people in their late 40s and 50s.

Young people will. It's very, very hard for young people now, and I do not understand why there isn't a movement to make education pay-as-you-go and not borrow-as-you-go, but those who are unemployed and in their 50s and those who are already retired paid the pre-Bush higher tax rates and should not now have to sacrifice because of Bush's big mistakes.
