Imagine putting $13,770 away every year for 40 years and then collecting $1,124 a month, as proposed by Bush's proposal to fix SS. He called for a 40% reduction in benefits. That takes gall. Still Americans and the press are not getting outraged. I think they should be furious, outraged and calling for impeachment.
As I have written before, Bush never wanted any real privatization. Why should he if the middle class is stupid and lazy enough to fund all of SS and Medicare all by themselves. Instead, he wants to make the middle class and the upper middle class poor. How can we stand by and allow this to happen?
Those idiots in the press who see Laura Bush and George as such a cute couple, haven't a clue of the destruction these bastards will cause, if we allow it.
