Are you saying that had the tax cut not been passed we'd be all set with social security and health care?
Who was responsible for passing the tax cut into law? Who would have been responsible for making sure that the money in the federal coffers, had the tax cut not gone into effect, went to shoring up Social Security or God forbid, Federal health care benefits? What evidence can you point to of a willingness on the part of Congress to any of the things necessary to yield the results that Skylark wanted to see?
Certainly, a reasonable person can conclude that Bush provided bad leadership, but so much more than that went into it.
