I don't know if this is a new way to try to break into the Democratic stronghold of blacks, but its a BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD idea.

It will NEVER work.

You can't let a MASSIVE lumbering, system like Social security and make rules on race/sex/etc. A 'simple rule' will NOT be appropriate in all cases, and the volume is too great for any kind of individual case study.

It will just be MORE expensive, introduce more 'friction' between people and detps and red tape within the gov't. Everyone will be complaining that someone 'is getting more' than someone else, and nobody will be happy.

Besides, if I wanted to play devils advocate, I would say that:

Just becuase blacks have a statstically lower life span, they get screwed out of Social Security? WRONG!

What if we were to do the same for Welfare, and say that blacks take a disproportionate share of that gov't program and 'whites' or 'asians' are getting screwed out of that money?

What about a white or asian or whoever that 'stastically' makes use of private schooling. ARen't blacks or hispancis taking a disproportionate amt of the public schooling budget? Is that fair?

Its just a BAD Idea.

It thought it was a BAD IDEA when I saw it on FOX over the weekend, and it is a HORRIBLE idea that Bush would echo it.

When will people understand that no matter you intentions, when you base ANYTHING on race IT IS RACISM/SEXISM!!!! STOP IT NOW!
