Nobody suggested the President could change the law with a proposed budget. Why shouldn't he put a plan into his budget? If the report is accurate, what's there to lose except making the Democrats have yet one more hysterical public fit and yet again state they are against SS reform? And possibly getting some Republicans to grow a spine on the issue.
Finally, you post little on this forum (don't bother trotting out your sign up date, it means nothing) and yet you come on this thread to call the President a moron.
*sniff!*
True. So what?
I can't defend Bush anymore. I agree with the liberals on this one...he is a moron. The social security issue is a loser. Won't happen. My taxes are still WAY TOO HIGH. He can't make the cuts permanent. We are in a war we can't win. Our borders are leaky, and not secure. Government has never been bigger, nor the deficit higher.
So, let me ask you. Do you think anything would be different if we elected Gore or Kerry? I don't. (ok, maybe the supreme court nominations...but that's it).
