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.

Bush AND Gore both had so-so grades on their SAT scores and BOTH had
pretty poor grades at their prep schools.

Maybe if Gore wasn't sucking up the reefer so much he could have developed
his mind a lot further?

In interviews with Gore's old buddies from his school days many of them have
openly proclaimed that "Gore smoked marijuana like a chimney" and other
words to that effect.

With all the slamming and bashing of Bush going on it's easy to lose sight
of the fact that Gore wasn't exactly a poster boy for being a student or
intellect pursuing higher education to his maximum potential.

Let's not forgot the fistfuls of dollars that Gore's daddy threw at the
schools that he attended and please don't pretend that it didn't have
any influence on Gore's final grades....

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.
