Nah, despite that I'm a smart-ass, I sometimes miss other peoples' smart-assedness, too. It's just one of the things that make us autistic. :D ;)

I know that this is going to suck for a whole lot of people, but S.1932 (Deficit Reduction Act of 2005) which Bush signed into law today is going to go a long was in resolving a massive personal problem of mine that I've been stressing over alot.

It cuts Medicare and Medicaid spending over the course of the next 5 years, basically. Or, to paraphrase The Shrub, it cuts costs while ensuring those who rely on those programs get the care they need.

It also helps prevent preventative care, which is completely idiotic. :roll:

Btw, I thought Medicaid was a state thing. Does ol' Bushy boy even have jurisdiction???
