There will always be a crowd on one side or the other to make political hay out of any ``out of the box`` proposal. Limits on the SS private dollars, means testing, age requirements, and lots of debate will be on the Congressional plate later this year. Maybe, just maybe, there will be a reasonable solution.

If not, the SS system will be in crisis mode sooner than later. Much sooner if they continue to spend WAY more than they take in -- I wish I could spend all that I wanted and just pass the debt off to the next generation. But since JHawk Jr is ``finding himself`` in Europe with his economically superior ``Life Sciences`` degree (what the heck do you do with that?), I better keep my day gig.

Hey, but if EDIG gets to $8 or $10, I won`t care...`cause I know what I own and I own enough to count. Heck, if it gets to $12 or so, I`ll join JHawk Jr in Amsterdam!
