Oh wait, he wrote this today: "
I want to come back to the comments I made regarding last night's SOTU address. I had a good night’s sleep so I’m clearer in my thinking now.
All I can say about president Bush and his political skills as a 30 year veteran of politics myself is Bush is good. Very good. As I said yesterday, the Democratic party stands no chance in preventing the partial privatization of Social Security."
President Bush’s solution is taking tax money funding SS and putting that into private accounts. Just think about it. How is partially cutting the flow of money going into SS a solution to the problem?
The problem and the solution don’t match. The reason for this is simple. President Bush isn’t really trying to save SS as his prime objective. What he wants to do is take money going to the government to fund SS and put it in people’s pockets in the form of private retirement funds. In other words, the president is actively pursuing his vision of an ownership society.
Man, this is weird.
