DANG, DANG, DANG....WHAT A GUY..

I love this President!!!

[x5452]

Gota love how they say 'divert more than $700 billion of Social Security tax revenues'.

No. Divert is what is going on now where a person's cash is DIVERTED to the government who MIGHT in the future revert a PORTION of that to the individual. When an individual's money is put into a private account which only that person can access it is not DIVERTED it is SAVED.

Is this supposed to be some sort of a problem for Bush? He has submitted a budget PROPOSAL. It is not as if he took an already approved budget and stuck this SS stuff in. If the libs don't like it they can refuse to ok the budget until it is removed and the other changes they are sure to want are made.

[Bahbah]

Okay congress, debate this! *chuckle*

I'm sorry but this is Flush the Koran Newsweak. They have no longer credible as a serious source of information. Please return when you have some crediblie sources confirm of this information please.

But anyone who thought that Bush would wait for bipartisanship to deal with Social Security was wrong.

Naturally, because, were He to wait, the 2nd Term would go out with No visible progress, so I believe.

He had to establish some gain to push the ball out of the muddy rut.

It looks like he is taking a more aggressive stance in his budget proposal than he did in the SOTU speech. I hope he sticks to it.

Well most citizens have children and grandchildren and should be interested in private accounts for the next generations who may not see any social security benefit. If not, it says something about them. A sad commentary indeed.

If you are younger, don't get physical, get political. This is your issue and this is the time for your voices to be heard. Take up the mantle and vote. Collectively, you have some clout. Use it!!

[SuziQ]

Heh, so much for the President being stupid.

[pollyannaish]

Do NOT play chess with this man.

Get 'er done. Go, Sir, Go!

('scuse me, a little happy dancing here.)

[Just A Nobody]

"the president still cares deeply about this."

So do I, Sir! Go Mr. President!!!

[MNJohnnie]

I'll take you serious RM when you attack the Democrats 1/5th as often as you attack what is supposedly "your side"

[Spirited]

He'll let Hillary take the credit for it when he hands over the reigns. Good friends wash each other's backs.

I believe in privatization in any event and the Dems will do it when they get the credit.

GOP are boot lickers and gloves.

[KarlInOhio]

But anyone who thought that Bush would wait for bipartisanship to deal with Social Security was wrong. Instead, he stuck his own privatization proposals into his proposed budget.

That is what I wanted a year ago. Last year's plan was a general "let's privatize a little of SS. Congress, please work out the details." He has realized that Congress won't do any such thing, so he puts his proposal forward.

Now to track down the details to see if I like this new plan.

[MNJohnnie]

You may claim what ever you like. Your ACTIONS, however, speak louder then your words

[uglybiker]

From what country will F'in Kerry call for a filibuster this time?

[roaddog727]

Hooah!

[TheCornerOffice]

What remains to be seen is whether this time around Bush follows through on forming a bipartisan commission and whether he can get credible Democrats to join it.

First, he's have to find a few of those, which might be the most difficult task of all.

[Pirate21]

  Yee-haw! Hope it's true. Force the issue onto the table. Thank you, Mr. President.
