Hmmm, let me get this straight.... BushCo gives us back a pittance of
OUR money, in the form of a tax rebate, right? Then, because he didn't
use that money to pay for some of his worst-ever federal deficit,
Greenspan is so afraid that it will spiral out of control, that he
wants to use Social Security money, again, OUR money, to pay off some
of the deficit?? Even the conservatives should be able to see what's
wrong with THIS!! :

(02-25) 08:58 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan urged Congress on Wednesday to
deal with the country's escalating budget deficit by cutting benefits
for future Social Security retirees.

What does Bush have to do with this basskisser? Can't you read the very
first sentence of the story you posted?

Hmm, did you ever stop to think WHO is the commander in chief? Did you
ever stop to think that Greenspan, in his role as Federal Reserve
Chairman answers to Bush, ultimately?

Awe....no I feel bad. I take it, though, that you didn't get the
point. Sorry, it's impossible to make it any simpler to understand.

The whole premise of your post is total bull****, which of course is
no surprise being the political whore you are. Anyone who would
address it further than that is just as stupid as you...

while you were only thought of as a moron, now everyone thinks your a stupid
moron.
O well, what next there stupid? I mean it is obvious there is limited or
minimal education over there on your part, why do you have to keep proving
that point.

long-term interest rates would rise, seriously harming the economy.

All attempts to transform the slush fund by Republicans in recent past
have been met with cries of "The sky is falling" by the various Democrat
Chicken Little's who induce paranoia amongst the largely lgnorant
general public and seniors in particular.

Just listen to yourself....Republicans "transforming" Social
security...

Do you think it's Republicans who protect the interest of the average
guy? or is it Republicans who want to "transform" Social Security to
use the money the way they see fit? ie: using our Social Security
money to pay off Bushs' spending spree...

It is ALWAYS the Democrats who stand to represent the average guy,
while the Republicans ALWAYS back whats good for corporations and big
business tax breaks, just like the current bufoon in the white house
does currently. Face reality. If you really think it's republicans
that protect the interest of the little guy, you've probably been
dropped on your head at one or more points in your life.

The "average guy" eh?

Kind of like the NON-citizens who come here and collect food stamps,
welfare checks, social-security checks, etc.. etc.. do?

And then the bitching comes about proposed cuts in a system that
is being strained to the gills trying to address the problem of every recent
immigrant seeking to import their aged grandparents, great aunts, etc. - all
of whom become eligible for social security and medicare. All these monies
are, of course, drawn out of a system where they have never contributed a
single dime.

Are these the "average" folks that you are talking about? And just WHAT
PARTY subverted the laws and rules to allow this draining of social security
and other programs?

And exactly how does this "represent' the other forgotten folks (the "average"
folks who are AMERICAN CITIZENS)?

And do your really think the the elites who line-up and proclaim to represent
the "average guy" (John Edwards etc...) have any real connection to Joe
working class? Come on....get real....

Speaking of dropped on one's head....

(Trivia Quiz: What Democrat President signed NAFTA into law? NAFTA, now that
is one helluva deal that really protects the "interests of the little guy"
both here and abroad!)

Neither party is innocent of using SS as a slush fund! The Dem's in
power
now are blocking the SS Lockbox act.

Thats the problem with republicans, they never look deeper into
issues.
Care to explain what the 'lockbox" act does? Obviously you don't have
a clue.
You might think it locks the SS funds away to be used only by
SS...wrong! Thats what the Republicans would like you to think, so
they put a name on it called 'lockbox' so that the uninformed would
think it was about locking money away for SS use only.....
What it really would do is lock the funds proceeds into being used to
pay down the national debt, which is why the republicans want it and
the democrats do not.
IF it locked the funds to be used only for Social Security, the
Democrats would be all behind it, because the Democrats are FOR the
little guy, not for paying down Bushs debt so he stands a chance at
getting elected again.
If that's to hard for you republicans to understand, please read this
post again SLOWLY....

I would rather see it paying down the National debt than the use that is
has
been put too for the last 40 years!!! Clinton's touting of a balanced
budget included the SS taxes. Put it in the "Lockbox" and it will not
be
part of the spending every year for general budget items. And as a
fiscally
conservative Democrat, I despise the candidates for both parties. In
the
last election, I voted for Bush as AGore is one of the stupidest people
ever
to run for high office. Clinton was almost as crooked as LBJ, and that
takes some doing. Kerry is a Fiscal Liberal, as well as a social
Liberal.
I care less about most social restrictions, but I do not want to pay for
your play!!!!!! The Gay Wedding scene. My biggest complaint is the
local
judge who did not uphold the law. The judge should have upheld the law
and
the plaintiff's could then appeal to higher courts. To many activist
judges
making law. Is not their place. They are not the Legislative Branch!
Also, the term marriage seems to be chosen to **** off the most people.
We
allow civil unions. A contract, just like marriage is a contract
between
two people. As to the next election. Look at the Democrat party's
candidates. Way too much power from the DNC as to who gets to play.
Where
is a Truman when we need him.

Hehe!! You call Gore stupid? Compared to WHAT? PLEASE don't say Bush,
I may laugh too hard to type!!! As for SS paying down the national
debt, I'd have liked to have seen Bush KEEP the debt balanced, as
Clinton did, then we'd have OUR money.

Who flunked out of law school? Who flunked out of Divinity School. Who does
not have a masters? AGore is stupid. If he had not been born to a rich
racist Senator, he would have never been heard from outside his family. As
to Clinton balancing the budget! He was a profligate spender his first 2
years. Until the Contract with America bunch and cut off a lot of the money
flow, Clinton spent just like any other spendthrift President of the last 40
years. Unfortunately the COA people folded. We also increase revenues
exponentially over those years. Changed the tax code to get money up front
on stock options, not when people actually sold and made any money. Raised
taxes more than he should of and this is according to Clinton himself.
