Social Security - US style
I have a message for Mr. Bush - Shrub variety. (My apologies for shouting but I feel the need.)
SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT BROKEN. IT DOES NOT NEED FIXING.
There seem to be many who don’t realise social security is NOT an investment program, IT’S A SAFETY NET. It’s goal is to ensure that those who are retired are not left destitute. It is a very successful program with a very moral goal.
All Shrub seems to be doing is rewarding those rich family friends he’s beholden to. Or, perhaps, this his grab for historical immortality? Infamy, more like. And he’s doing it with my money. Arggghhhhh.
If you don’t like universal benefits and think there isn’t enough money to go around why not, as a first step, have an income limit of, say, $50,000. (Purely arbitrary figure I just plucked out of the air. Can’t be any worse than the analysis Shrub is using.)
Boondoggles abound with this administration.
