1. Congress should "authorize separate federal matching of state and local expenditures for the medical care needed by public assistance recipients."

2. "To guarantee adequate financing of health care on a nationwide basis," we need a "comprehensive health insurance plan (to) offer to every American the same broad and balanced health protection."

No, not Barack Obama. The answers are: 1. Dwight Eisenhower and 2. Richard Nixon who, today, would be called "socialists" and drummed out of the GOP.

Today we have only moderate Republicans - whom we now call Democrats - and the Tea Party.

Or, as I prefer to call them, the cowards and the bullies.
