BushCo to cut S.S. Benefits
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. Without action, he warned, long-term interest rates would rise, seriously harming the economy. |

Greenspan urging Congress is NOT the same as a CUT of SS Benefits.

BushCo to cut S.S. Benefits
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. |

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

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.... |

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. |

Where is a Truman when we need him. Pretzel logic...then rambling..... 1) So, you admit that it is not a 'lockbox' that locks away ss money safely....so then don't you think there might be something to the democrats reasoning why this is another republican sham??? 2) Gore stupider than Bush?....puleeezzz...what oblivious planet are you on? The entire world would disagree with you on that. 3) Now we're talking about gay marriages? Ok, support it or not, have any idea how much fighting gay marriages is going to cost this country in legal fees? How much it has already cost? Now doofus wants to have a consitutional ban on it..that will cost millions, perhaps billions by the time you add up the court time, time house and congress would spend on it, time all the lawyers would be paid for, probably only to fail anyway, so a total waste. Religious right phobia is going to cost us all plenty. 4) Activist judges....the term you hear from the redneck right whenever civil rights are upheld. If the court banned abortion, made homosexuality a crime, made sex outside of marriage illegal, made teaching evolution illegal, and chose a republican for president they're not called activist judges then. They're then upholding the type of values the conservatives inthis country are looking for, very similar to the values the conservative religious Taliban fanatics want to impose on the Afganistan population. Amazing how conservatives are always so eager to wave the american flag, a symbol of freedom and equality, then spit on any of their fellow americans if they are different from them. |

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. |
