Social Security is not out of money yet, but one day it will be. Would you rather pay me now or pay me later?
Pay me later of course.
Democratic stonewalling, plus ads by AARP and other groups, are confusing the issue. Confusion is all the DNC can hope for. Why are they trying to stop the Presidents Social Security reform plan?
Well maybe because of genuine doubt as to whether the problem is urgent. I think a larger part of what motivates Democrats is: It's the Presidents plan. They would have liked to have thought of it.They are against it because the President is for it. By God, we couldn't kick him out of the White House, so we'll try to trip him up and stall him any way we can. Let's not let anything stand in our way of our monkey-wrenching either. Maybe we'll filibuster in the Senate and delay the appointment of Bush's nominations for the Federal bench too. Never mind that the Constitution doesn't not allow for filibuster in this area. I wish somebody would take that issue to the Supreme Court.
This brings to mind another reform program nobody wanted. Welfare reform.
That reform wasn't necessary either it you believed what the Dem's were saying. Remember? It's mean and it's going to destroy families. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it working? Aren't there fewer people on welfare in the states that were allowed to change welfare "entitlements"?
Are working people better of than people on welfare?
Isn't Social Security worth saving too?
