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.

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?

Actually the President has very little influence over the economy as compared
to others and especially the Federal Reserve Chairman.

You haven't studied economics much...

That is obvious,, neither have many of the other posters here in this
boating newsgroups. Surely they are knowledgeable of boating issues, but
economics,,, nothing....

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.

ahh where have you been? Our Social Security benefits have been used
for all sorts of things including deficit payments over the years because
it has always been sort of a general slush fund for unrelated spending
and not a dedicated accounting system for the individual taxpayers.

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.

The Unites States House of Representatives passed legislation called the
"Social Security Lock Box" to protect the Social Security Trust Fund
permanently. I understand that this effort has been stalled in the Senate
by Chicken Little Democrats.

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.
