Well, it’s sorta doubtful that Fortune actually set out to agree with me, or even knows it agrees with me, but I’m taking full credit for it. What’s more, I said it before Fortune did. The more I think of it, the more it kinda, sorta, maybe, seems like maybe Fortune got the idea from my blog. (I don’t believe that, but it is fun to think about it.)
A few weeks ago this blog lamented the fact that Social Security and Medicare are our biggest economic problem and none of the major candidates is addressing, or even discussing, this problem.
Now hear this, the March 17, 2008 issue of Fortune has an article titled "The $34 Trillion Problem.†The subtitle is “Medicare is poised to wreak havoc on the economy. And our presidential candidates are avoiding the issue.†Author Geoff Colvin goes on to comment that this problem cannot be solved easily.
Surely he will be glad to know that I agree with him.
