Dems are against it for 2 reasons - they need the money for other stuff - and it goes against their grain to give up any control over the citizens whatsoever.
The Dems want credit for Social Security reform; they do not want a Republican name even close to this.
They wanted reform in the 90's when one of their own was in the White House...and God forbid if one of their own gets back in they'll be for it then as well....just not when an "R" occupies Pennsylvania Ave.!!
For sure!
The Dems want reform all right. . .which is to say, they really want 'control'; and they want the money so as to increase their 'own' largesse so as to be better able to bribe and enlarge their constituency; while punitively diminishing the constituency of their opponents.
Under the 'lie' of their saving social security. . .this Party wants to be rewarded and congratulated, for their efforts.
I gave that self abuse up long ago.They don't think logically,So they can't be logically talked to a solution.
They are irrational.And a large number of the Kool-Aid drinkers are extremely hatefilled.
They may try to act "normal",But a few innocent sentences like "Bush is doing a pretty good Job" or "Rush was pretty funny today,Did you listen to his Radio Show??" will "set them off" spewing the most vile,hatefilled garbage.
I've begun to think they suffer from some sort of mild mental illness or something.
. . .Where Hillary's name is mentioned, in particular. . .don't forget those 'off shore' accounts. . .
Cannot understand why this plan not identified properly rather than by a 'misnomer' by which it is referenced. .'privatizing Social Security'. . .or at least not corrected at every opportunity by every Repub including GW himself.
Not doing so. . .creates only more disinformation for a public trying to understand this.
. . .and why don't these same, remind/inform the public that Congresscritters have had the same "CHOICE' for years. . .by way of a similar model? And it is not MANDATORY! .
Nothing difficult about the truth here. . .why don't we hear it more - like everytime a Republican must promote and defend this plan?
