Yes he did. He could have done something 3 year ago when he was
presented with the facts. He did nothing. It's not a French
company. It's US owned.

That's news to me. The company is Aventis, or something like that, and it's
French-owned, to my knowledge.

Yup... my mistake. They do have a subsidiary in the US. They make
Allegra and a couple of other well-known drugs.

He's already got a backdoor draft going. It's just a small step.

That's an imaginative leap of illogic. He's said, "no draft" and I believe
him.

That's a fact. Heard of stop-loss? That's what's going on.

You obviously aren't old enough to recall how conscription altered lives,
even in peacetime. If a volunteer army is getting the job done, and it is,
then a draft is simply not necessary. Undoubtedly you are over the maximum
age, or you wouldn't be holding this position.

The volunteer army isn't getting the job done. Everything
community-based changes lives. That's the point. It allows you to give
back to the community and it changes your life.

I'm over the age, but I would volunteer if I knew everyone was
expected to serve. You wouldn't have to serve in the military
exclusively to contriube.

We could start by cutting needless government expenditure, which is
completely out of control. And we could quit robbing that mythical entity
called the SS trust fund. Hell, if a business owner even borrows from his

Mythical? It's not mythical to millions of seniors.

employee pension fund, he goes to jail. The gummint wigs have done it for
years. Next, there could be an interim program of partial investment and
partial FICA payment. But it HAS to be done, because like it or not, SS
won't last forever at the current rate of increasing ranks in the retirement
years (mostly the Boomers). SS was a bad idea for the general population
from the get-go, and someone, someday must address the problem. To simply
allow it to continue until it breaks down and fails is a head-in-the-sand
approach, and will spell disaster down the road.

Oh, now I see. Your argument is with FDR. Ok. Thanks anyway.
