| The economy is still strained of course--because both Democrats and Republicans supported social-welfare programs, from the "No Child Left Behind Act" to the new prescription-drug entitlement program, that caused federal spending to go up at a faster rate with Bush as president than it did with Bill Clinton in the White House. If not increased, this would create a new under-funded government entitlement program and motivate employers to pay the new fee in lieu of continuing to provide coverage for their workers. In the past such commissions have gotten input from a variety of experts and think tanks in crafting recommendations for reforming entitlement programs. |
