Big talk from a minority leader. The younger adults in this country deserve a better system than the Ponzi scheme we currently have. (Article is two pages long)

Harry Reid 1999

"[M]ost of us have no problem with taking a small amount of the Social Security proceeds and putting it into the private sector."

Sounds like nice nice negotiations are over, time to bust heads in the Senate. They need to fear for their seats. I'm sure we can find 4 without spines.

Reid is a fool too. He, like the rest of the leftists, do not give a damn about what the people need, and what is best for the country. They only care about regaining total power in the Congress and their present strategy, that of total obstruction is the reason behind this moron's negativism. It is all they have, all they stand for, and none of it says AMERICA on it.

Chile does it. Apparantly, the 'Rats believe we are less able to handle our own investments than are the Chileans. "100% Government solution or we won't agree!" No wonder these idiots keep losing elections and seats.

All hat, no cattle Harry. Yes, there are some worthless RINOs on the R side (e.g., Chaffee). There may also be a persuadable moderate or two on the D side (e.g., Ben Nelson). My guess is that if the bill is reasonable and W is willing to take the case to the public, like Reagan was, then there is a good chance for a small step in the right direction.

We would have to overcome a fillibuster though.

That could be impossible.

The only thing that's dead is Harry Reid's brain.

I have been talking to a very smart young man, but he supports Bush on this even though he is Dem.

Harry doesn't realized the Soc Sec reform is a winning issue. When he says the President's plan is dead, Harry is saying, the Dems will fillabuster it, just like they did with the energy plan. I say, fine and dandy. fillabustering is a far cry from having a bill that both houses of congress can vote on and I predict that consensus will be reached on some plan. The political price for opposing that plan will be heavy. It basically comes down to this, Harry and the Dems are betting that the same ole demagoging will win the day. I say they are in for a shock and Carl Rove is willing to bet on it.

"President Bush should forget about privatizing Social Security," the Nevada Democrat said. "It will not happen. The sooner he comes to that realization, the better off we are."

and by "we", he means the DNC
