the sinking dow and soc sec privatization

[onenote]

When the dow drops below 10,000 will repub members of Congress start abandoning chimpy on the privatization issue? Or will they claim its a great time to buy stocks....

1. Well, we know that Dear Leader is always right

Infallible, you know, like a certain other political figure with religious pretensions, so they'll have a massive Republican conclave, where they'll parse every utterance that George W. Bush made on the subject, and after extensive study and discussion make a two part announcement:

1. George W. Bush never said he wanted to privatize Social Security; and

B. It's all Clinton's fault.

[unblock]

2. the lobbyist-feeding frenzy for commissions has nothing to do with that

none of this has anything to do with stocks being a good investment.

seriously.

3. There is nothing he does that will ever see the right abandon him.

It is hilarious how bad things are in this country and he never gets held accountable. Off point here but appropriate. I heard CNN all but call Jim Jeffords senile as his reason for quitting the Senate. They used an instance as him showing up at the House chambers instead of the Senate chambers. They used that one instance, (which I am sure they fact-checked everything to assure us that he is senile for mixing up the rooms), as a reason to sight health as the reason he is leaving. And I thought. How many others would they do this to? Have they ever maligned Bush for all his failings and ascribed some sort of dementia for the reasons? I can't think of any. But Bush walks on water or so the media thinks he does. If an illegal war causing thousands upon thousands of deaths can't get a rise out of the media, the right will never abandon him. Why would they?

4. soc sec piratization is to save the stock market

all that money going into the market will inflate the bubble again

5. Yeppers, it IS a stock market saving ploy

If they want to help Social Security for real, they would put back the money they took out of the trust fund to make the general fund look like it would support that big tax break for the top 1%.

Wanna save Social Security? Make bush* PUT THE MONEY BACK!

mention it to your Congressmen and Senators. Make sure they know that you know it is all a trick.
