STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]
2/2/05

Posted on 02/02/2005 3:43:44 PM PST by Timeout

The pre-spin: Bush will spend about 1/2 the speech on foreign policy, 1/2 on domestic, with heavy emphasis on Social Security reform. It's said he will provide a detailed tutorial on the SS system and its problems with a few details on his personal accounts proposal.

Laura's guests are said to be an Afghan voter and an Iraqi voter (too bad there's no Ukrainian wearing an orange hat!).

Should we start a drinking game on how many times the pool camera swings to Hillary? Hmmm. Probably not...it would likely hamper out typing ability.

Word on the blogs has it that the closing part of the speech is a hum-dinger. Set your VCR's.

Report here on outrageous MediaCrat spin before AND after the SOTU. Pictures and screen caps welcome.

I hope the TSp is modeled on the Vanguard Fund model. I wouldn't mind putting my 4% into a VX-500 fund with no load and minimal fees.

I just KNEW it!

I said right after the election that, knowing Dubya, he would discombobulate the Rats once again and take on inner city problems. And he's putting Laura in charge!!!

He's a doozie!

Border security and immigration issue got 10 seconds.

Missed it. Must've happened during the time I was in a state of shock over all the "fiscal responsibility" talk.

The Federal Thrift Savings Plan acts much like a 401(k). The details on privatization aren't complete, but a portion of the SS tax would, with the worker's consent, be put into something similar, with a limited number of low-risk options.

"He said NO AMENESTY; he's said it more than once and he means it."

Actions speak louder than words.

Will a detailed plan be proposed?

Social Security - End it, don't mend it

Tempting, but politically impossible. You'd have to de-acculturate millions from dependence on it. It would take some time to accomplish.

He's really going after the (rational) black vote.

Nice.
