Idiot David Brooks unintentionally puts the Bush plan in a clear light. If we can sell treasuries and use the proceeds to buy stocks and then use the spread to fix social security, then by the same logic we can sell treasuries and buy equities and then use the spread to kill off the national debt and buy every US citizen a new house, a new car and cut taxes to zero.
And then imbecile David Brooks says that if I am skeptical about the existence of such a money machine, I must not have faith in free markets.
Why does that moron get to write for NYT?
