“The longer action on reforming health care and Social Security is delayed, the more painful and difficult the choices will become,” said a Government Accountability Office study in June. “The federal government faces increasing pressures, yet a shrinking window of opportunity for phasing in adjustments.”
The above from a Miami Herald Report on the presidential candidates and the all too immediate problems of national health care and Social Security is part of an interesting take by at least one viewer of the second presidential debate.
