As the SS Ponzi scheme begins to collapse, the Big Government Republican politicians begin to carve up the spoils, hoping to maximize votes while they build their own government-parasite pensions and theft from taxpayers.

Redistributionist bullsqueeze from Bush, as expected. More Big Stupid Government crap from our Maximum Politician.

[Fudd Fan]

actually I don't like beer either, but they sure seem to at the baseball games.

[mystery-ak]

I was born in 51...yikes!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Agreed.

A coworker today said the news conference would be for President Bush to announce that the USA has taken over the Iraq oil fields due to the energy crisis. She said the President's people have connived to push the gas prices high in order to pressure Congress and the American people to accept this - like you say - proving the war was really for oil after all.

The insane propaganda that is out there makes me sometimes feel as if I am living in the USSR or Red China. Good people - and she is a friend - a deceived one - after hearing insanity long enough - finally yield to it - lock stock and barrel. Or some do.

[Miss Marple]

Not quite robbing the rich. It is complicated and I will discuss after the news conference.

[Howlin]

We need to fight WITH them, AGP.

[Bahbah]

BTW, Clinton did NOTHING with this for 8 years.

Oh come on, he talked about it, didn't he.

[SBprone]

Bigger benefits for the "poor."

WTF?!?!?!

[Dog]

I was born in 1956...I'm doomed.

[Lemondropkid31]

Yea, they do. For some reason they cannot enjoy a game while they are lucid.

[CT CONSERVATIVE]

where do you live?

[Howlin]

Did you know that Harry Reid tried to exempt Congress critters from Social Security??? What does that tell you?

[nutmeg]

He should say VOLUNTARY about five times during this speech! So many sheeple still don't get it...

[rodguy911]

President Bush just doesn't get it. We don't manage anything that is not in crisis already. Planning ahead 10 or 11 years is never done in govt. No wonder no one wants to listen to GW, he is trying to manage govt. instead of deal with a crisis. Doesn't have a prayer.

[Txsleuth]

I do to---and I like the idea of lower income Americans getting more that richer---If I were rich, I wouldn't even take Social Security---

My kids are in their 20's and there will be no SOC. Security if something isn't done now.

[logician2u]

1. 2. 3. 4...

All functions of the the federal governent, I'm sure.

[SoCalPol]

Looks like most of the Dose folks over here

[Hadean]

Good ideas from either party? What's the other one?
