Democrats say they will not be tempted by what one member has labeled "artificial sweeteners" as long as any bill includes the private investment accounts Bush is pushing.

OMG! Allow people to actually free themselves from government bondage?

The nerve of those eeeeevil Republicans. Why, financial freedom is soooo pre-depression era! This is the liberal New Age !

How dare they talk about "freedom". That's hate speech if I've ever heard it!! Who'll support the democrat base ???? What about those democratt voters who have decioded to use their Constitutional right to choose a lifestyle that excludes employment? Huh? What will they eat? What will they wear? Where will they live? Who will pay their bills?

If only that were what we're talking about. Elimination of the mandatory Social Security program is the only real freedom from this particular servitude.
