Yup. Good old RR, king of the neocons, ran up huge deficites and threw a
party, just like GWB is doing right now. They call it prosperity.
Conservatives call it madness. Democrats under Clinton tried to fix the

mess

Sorry, Vito, but SS's problems antedate RR by quite some time. They're
inherent in the system's Ponzi scheme structure. Last time the Dems "tried
to fix the mess" was 1983, when they applied the usual Dem remedy of

raising
taxes.

I'm addressing deficit problems not SS problems, Dave. The SS Trust is just
one place RR and now Bush borrowed trillions. In about 10 years, the SS
Admin will have to begin recalling those bonds and taxpayers will have to
begin repaying those deficits. I'll prolly be dead. So I'll say thanks to
all you younger taxpayers who must now finance RR's "prosperity" - it was
quite a party! The Iraqis should thank you for financing their Iran-style
"democracy" too, but they prolly send suicide bombers instead.
