I wonder what kind of MAME cab BUSH has?

MrC,
You are jousting at windmills.
So you are telling me there is no problem with Social Security.

Never said that. It's just not in "crisis". It can be fixed, without Privatization. The reason I'm not sweatin' SS right now is that there are entirely more important issues at hand.
Here's a little something to chew on, from Warren Buffett:
"Well, it's an interesting idea that a deficit of $100 billion
a year, something, 20 years out, seems to terrify the administration.
But the $400 plus billion dollars deficit currently does nothing but
draw yawns. I mean the idea that this terrible specter looms over
us 20 years out which is a small fraction of the deficit we happily
run now seems kind of interesting to me."
Exactly.
One of the BEST things we can do to save Social Security, and just about everything else, is to STOP BUSH FROM SPENDING.

I thought you were done talking about Social Security ?
I have a lot of respect for Warren Buffett. I'd like to see what else he said in that statement.
One of the best things the left can do is stop bashing Bush and serve the people that elected them and come up with alternative ideas. The agenda is set with the best idea. The system will work if the politicians let it.
I'd say term limits are the best way to get to where we want to be. That way we don't have politicians pandering to each other and trying to do the thing to keep them elected.
