RE :”Bush tried to privatize SS and everyone said: “Oh, I don't want that responsibility.”

Pelosi was bragging about how that was a winning issue for them. At the time I knew it wouldn't fly. Why? Bush was running huge deficits and purposefully convinced the country national debt is good, that Obama will use now. The other problem is interest rates. (I have been watching Peter Schiff) Aside from massive government deficit spending the monetary policy was print-print-print meaning savings interest rates were low while we had phony stock market and housing booms that were just paper values. So in a climate like that even honest hard working people , everybody, is likely to get sucked in and burned. And we were. Thanks to GWB we will never have privatized SS.

Yes, Obama and Pelosi are our worst nightmare. But they have power because GWB was completely clueless. And fitting the crash happened before he got out.

I was a huge GWB fan at the outset, but when he lost his veto pen, he lost my support. He spent like a drunken sailor and never had the stones to say no to all the liberal spending proposals. He turned into a RINO, as have far too many GOP’s. I plan on working my butt off during the primaries to get every RINO out of office, and I hope others across the country do the same.
