The State of the Union Review- Domestic Policy

Now, I will focus on the domestic policy side. He basically stuck to the plans he has stated previously. He gave a very good answer to all the critics with regard so social security. I am happy that he re-affirmed the concept of personal independence and a government that has a more focus role. I am against the government controlling people’s daily life. Controlling a significant part of my paycheck does that. Taking control of a small percentage of my paycheck should not be a treat to anyone. The smartest thing was basically taking the AARP out of the equation. By telling all people 55 and older nothing will change for you under-cuts all Democrats and AARP arguments. Now they are left with a demographic that already feels that SS will not be there for them. Bottom line for us the younger generation: We will have an account with our name and a balance that we can see everyday if we please. That lady’s and gentleman is something that they will have a hard time arguing against. I also noticed a republican attack at the bastion of modern democrats: the urban areas. The only small ideas and projects were targeted for that population. It also said as Republicans we will fight for the African American vote. The groundwork was placed last election with the African American Churches. Bush has shown that he is not a micro-manager and a big idea and overall leader.
