That was way before bin Laden WAS a terrorist.
Heheheheh. Ronnie Raygun. Friend of terrorists, enemy of freedom

One man's terrorist is always someone else's freedom fighter. Take
Menachem Begin for example.
Another one might be Ho Chi Minh, FDR's freedom fighter, LBJ's
terrorist.
We even liked Castro for a while.
When FDR signed Medicare into law, it was supposed to be a loan which
was supposed to be paid back. Whatever became of that law? Betcha the
liberal democrats worked it over real good in exchange for votes.
Ummmm... FDR never signed Medicare or any type of health care system
into law. He signed the Social Security Act into law but it had no
health care provisions associated with it. He tried to generate
interest in a universal health care system as did subsequent
administrations but Congress never passed any of them until 1965 when
Medicare was signed into law by President Johnson.
Was social security originally intended to be a loan?
Beats me. I was reading that there is a little known rule that allows
you to use it as an interest free loan though. If you start collecting
early (like at age 62) and make it to 70 you can pay back all the
benefits you received (interest free) and then start collecting at the
higher monthly rate.
