the Reid video on Special Report will be right after the current break, please have VCR'S recording
***Lets hope some Republican group has good brain and puts this in an ad campaign to help President Bush get us personal accounts.***
I hope FRers are sending this out to their email lists.
And I'll be listening to Rush tomorrow to see if he's seen it here.
Great post!
You say flip-flop, I say liar!
among other hosts like Gman, Sean, and Mike Gallagher
Looks to me like they were referring to investing a part of the SS Ponzi fund proceeds in the stock market, not just treasury notes, not instituting private accounts for individuals....
The point is they were saying 6 years ago Social Security is in Crisis, they are now saying people who say Social Security is in Crisis now are lying, just like WMD's in Iraq.
When they said Sadaam had them and we needed to get rid of him that was fine and don't question it. When someone else says it a couple of years later their liars.
Bush wants to use the private sector investments to get a better rate of return and so did they.
Before the market took a drop in 2000 it looked a lot better as an investment..an excuse they will probably use this time around..of course SS is in a crisis, Congress belongs in jail..if any private company sold a plan like SS, the owners would be in jail...
